Jonathan O'Brien

Question:

661. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Health his plans to ensure that children who spend time on a waiting list for speech and language therapy in one area, can have that waiting time counted on a different waiting list when they move location, in order to ensure they are not placed at the bottom of the queue.

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health

The particular issue raised by the Deputy 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. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
