Sean Fleming

Question:

1387. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth when a child (details supplied) will receive an assessment for speech and language treatment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [57181/23]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

As this question refers to service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible. 

As the Deputy may be aware, the industrial action that commenced on Friday 6th  October, by management and administrative grades in Fórsa Trade Union in the HSE, will impact on the response times to Parliamentary Questions and Representations.
