302. Deputy Eamon Scanlon asked the Minister for Health to clarify whether there is currently any adult speech and language therapist assigned to County Leitrim, noting that adult speech and language therapy services are available in Sligo, Donegal and west Cavan but are not accessible to adults in Leitrim; if no such post exists, when an adult speech and language therapist will be appointed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27860/26]

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
