Amharc ar fhreagraResponsibility for the provision of services to persons with intellectual disability or autism in the Dublin region lies with the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has therefore, written to the regional chief executive of the authority and asked him to investigate the matter of speech and language therapy. The other issues raised by the Deputy are a matter for the Department of Education and Science.
