Dept of Health

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Health, which primary care trusts support a dysphasia service; and which of these have received external funding.

Answer: Mrs. Calton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health which primary care trusts support a dysphasia service; and which of these have received external funding. [132784] Mr. Hutton: Most, if not all, primary care trusts will either directly provide or will commission services for people suffering from dysphasia. Such services may not necessarily be separately identified as dysphasia services but may form part of the service provided by speech and language therapy departments. Information is not available in sufficient detail centrally to show whether particular dysphasia services have received external funding.
