131 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for Health if he will publish details of the number of speech therapists employed by the South-Eastern Health Board at the County Clinic, Clonmel, County Tipperary; the number of children receiving treatment; the numbers on the waiting list; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available in my Department. Accordingly I have referred the question to the chief executive officer, South-Eastern Health Board with a request that he examine the matter and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
