886. Deputy Martin Kenny asked the Minister for Health if the primary care speech and language therapy, SLT, role for counties Sligo and Leitrim, south Donegal and west Cavan is vacant; if so, the length of time this role has been vacant; when it is expected to be filled the role; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [49432/26]

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