363. Deputy Colm Keaveney asked the Minister for Health the number of speech and language therapists and occupational therapists employed in the Health Service Executive disability sector from 2010 to date in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44683/15]

The particular issue raised by the Deputy is a service matter for the Health Service Executive. Accordingly I have arranged for the question to be referred to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
