594. To ask the Minister for Health why there is a three-month waiting list for the mid-western community neuro-rehabilitation team, as the waiting time seriously compromises the benefits of this service due to the nature of brain damage; if the speech and language therapist at the mid-west team will be replaced during a maternity leave period which commences in June 2016; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy's question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, he can contact my Private Office and they will follow the matter up with the HSE.
