HC Deb 05 June 1967 vol 747 c124W
112. Mr. Kenneth Lomas

asked the Minister of Health what proposals he has for encouraging the recruitment of speech therapists for work with mentally-handicapped children.

Mr. Snow

The staffing of these services is a matter for hospital and local authorities in the first instance but my Department and the Department of Education and Science are considering the need for a study of the role of speech therapy in the health and education services.
