answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <p>We have no plans at present to hold discussions with NHS Clinical Commissioners concerning speech and language therapy service specifications. Clinical commissioning groups have responsibility for commissioning services to meet the needs of their local population, drawing on National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance to agree the specifications for communication support. The protection and safeguarding of children and young people from harm is of paramount importance to all parts for the health care system. All providers should have their own governance arrangements in place for responding to non-attendance at appointments.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 20/12/2018 12:26:36 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
