Vol. 535 No. 1

Written Answers - Speech and Language Therapy Services.

Paul McGrath

Ceist:

368 Mr. McGrath asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will review the further need for special language classes in Mullingar, County Westmeath, if he will assess the benefits of having those classes on different sites as distinct to having them on one campus and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12264/01]

The development of health-related support services, including speech and language therapy services for people with physical and sensory disability, is a matter for the relevant health boards. Accordingly, the Deputy's question has been referred to the chief executive officer of the Midland Health Board with a request that he examine the matter and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
