The provision of health services, including speech and language therapy, to people with a physical and-or sensory disability rests with the Eastern Regional Health Authority and the health boards in the first instance. Accordingly, the Deputy's questions have been referred to the regional chief executive of the Eastern Regional Health Authority with a request that he examine the matters raised and reply directly to him, as a matter of urgency.
