The provision of health services, including speech and language therapy, to people with a physical or sensory disability 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 North Western Health Board with a request that he investigate the matter and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
