View answerThe provision of speech therapy services for children attending day nurseries is being considered in the course of my Department's strategic review of disability services, which is being conducted in accordance with the Sustaining Progress agreement. On completion of this review, I expect to produce a comprehensive policy document which will address the issue raised by the Deputy.
