The information requested is not held by the Department of Education. The availability and provision of health-related therapy services for children with disabilities, including speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and physiotherapy, are provided by the Health Service Executive (HSE). Matters in relation to the provision of health-related services should therefore be directed to that body or to the Department of Health.

Matters in relation to the HSE’s Children's Disability Network Teams should also be directed to the HSE or to the Department of Health.
