HC Deb 14 February 1996 vol 271 c605W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what investigation his Department has been conducting into recruitment difficulties related to appointments of speech and language therapists for children with special educational needs; if he will place a copy of his conclusions in the Library; and if he will make a statement. [14305]

Mr. Hague

My Department and the NHS are examining whether there are any difficulties recruiting speech and language therapists as part of the annual exercise in determining the number of student places for this and other professions. The information gathered will be available when decisions on numbers are taken next summer.
