Question:

129. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Health if he will review speech and language therapy in respect of children (details supplied) in County Cork; his views on the considerable distance that these children must travel daily to access a specific speech and language disorder class; if she will examine if this is the best use of resources; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health

As the particular issue raised by the Deputy relates to an individual case, this is a service matter for the Health Service Executive. Accordingly, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy.
