HC Deb 17 March 1997 vol 292 c474W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the current average waiting time between a child being referred for speech therapy, an assessment taking place and referral for treatment. [20132]

Mr. Burns

The information requested is not available centrally. Under the childrens charter, parents can expect to be told the local charter standard for the maximum waiting time before their child is seen.
