Written answers

Minister for Education

The provision of health therapy supports for children with disabilities, including speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and physiotherapy, are provided by the Health Service Executive (HSE). Matters in relation to the provision of health-related services should therefore be directed to that body or to the Department of Health.
