I wish to advise the Deputy that the provision of therapy services, including speech therapy for people with disabilities, is a matter for the Health Services Executive (HSE) and funding is provided to the HSE for such purposes. It is open to the Deputy to contact my colleague the Minister for Health and Children or the HSE directly regarding the matter.
