Speech Therapy Services (Children)

Proceeding contribution from Nick Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 November 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Speech Therapy Services (Children).
I thank the Minister for giving way. I thank her also for confirming that the Government will not rip up plans introduced by the previous Government to take forward this important agenda. However, some of us are concerned that the new commissioning agenda for the national health service might mean that specialist services for speech and language therapy will not be commissioned by GP consortiums. Will the Minister confirm that special efforts will be made to ensure that GP consortiums are fully aware of this important service and that they continue to make it available?
