92 Deputy Noel J. Coonan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the number of persons in north Tipperary waiting to receive speech and language therapy; the average length of time waiting; the number of therapists in the constituency; the reason for the delay; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3037/11]

As the Deputy's question relates to service matters, I have referred this question to the Health Service Executive for direct reply.
