Mr. Gow

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what are the responsibilities of the Eastbourne health authority to provide speech therapy and physiotherapy for the children who need those services at Hazel Court school, Eastbourne, being a school owned by the East Sussex county council.

Mr. Freeman

Eastbourne health authority has a general responsibility to provide speech therapy and physiotherapy services for its resident population. It is for the authority itself to decide what resources within the total available for speech therapy and physiotherapy services to devote to providing services for children at Hazel Court school.
