§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Wales what discussions he has had with the Welsh Language Council, with the Gwynedd Area Health Authority, with the Llandaff Technical College and with the Welsh Language Research Unit of the University of Wales, concerning the provision of speech therapists trained to deal with Welsh speaking patients.
§ Mr. John MorrisOfficials of my Department and of the Department of Education and Science have had discussions with representatives of the Welsh Joint Education Committee and of the Llandaff College of Technology where there are facilities for training Welsh speaking students to practice speech therapy through the medium of the Welsh language. If full advantage is taken of these facilities it will go far towards ensuring an adequate supply of speech therapists capable of giving treatment to Welsh speaking patients.
