Officials in the Department made contact with the Deputy's office to clarify what therapists the question is referring to. His office confirmed it is 3 specific special schools in CHO4 who state SLT, OT are no longer being provided in their schools.
My Department does not have therapists in CHO4 area.
Under the Department of Health, as part of the Progressing Disability Services, existing therapy resources were reconfigured into the geographically based CDNTs. In this regard I believe the question is for the remit of the Department of Health and should be forwarded to them for direct reply.
