2865. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the number of children waiting to access speech and language therapy in the CHO7 area, by CDNT; the number of those waiting more than one year; the number waiting more than four years; and the average waiting time to access those therapies, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [57049/26]

2866. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality to report on children's speech and language therapy services in CDNT 2 Ballyboden of CHO7; if services have been resumed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [57050/26]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 2865 and 2866 together.

As this question refers to the service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
