Vol. 558 No. 6
120 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Health and Children the support which would be available to a person (details supplied) who is seeking to make the transition from primary school where they have considerable support, including speech and therapy, to a secondary school where this level of support is not currently available; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25270/02]
The provision of health related services, including speech and language therapy, for people with physical and/or sensory disabilities is a matter for the Eastern Regional Health Authority and the health boards in the first instance. Accordingly, the Deputy's question has been referred to the chief executive officer of the Eastern Regional Health Authority with a request that he examine the matter and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
