There are over 1,000 children awaiting speech and language assessment in County Wexford. Some 382 children are awaiting initial speech and language therapy in the county and 466 are awaiting further therapy. The stress and strain this puts on these children, their families and therapists on the front line, who are doing their level best to make their way through these long lists, is unimaginable and unacceptable. Monitoring, prioritising and hoping for the best are not working. What are the Government's immediate plans to deal with this situation in County Wexford? What is the plan and what additional resources are being supplied to deal with this urgent issue?
