Ceist:

332. Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Minister for Health the services and options available for children in need of speech and language therapy intervention from a school (details supplied) in County Kerry, especially those in junior infants, as there would appear to be no permanent service or hours available for these children.

Minister of State at the Department of Health

The particular issue raised by the Deputy is a service matter for the Health Service Executive. Accordingly I have arranged for the question to be referred to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with it.
