253. To ask the Minister for Health the reason in-person speech and language therapy sessions have not been provided to a person (details supplied) since February 2020; and the reason the person has not been transferred to a primary care centre in which speech and language sessions have been taking place during the same period [30637/20]

The Programme for Government, Our Shared Future, recognises the need to improve services for both children and adults with disabilities through better implementation and by working together across Government in a better way.
The Government commits to prioritising early diagnosis and access to services for children and ensuring that the most effective interventions are provided for each child, to guarantee the best outcomes.
As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.
