1600. To ask the Minister for Health if a school (details supplied) is to lose all onsite therapists, including speech and language therapists and occupational therapists as part of the progressing disabilities service roll-out; if so, the rationale for the school losing interventional therapies onsite for the 160 children attending the school given the optimal use of the time of the students, their families and the school and the minimum disruption in the students’ school day by having onsite therapists; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly.
