To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they plan to have with NHS Clinical
Commissioners about ensuring that speech and language therapy service specifications
(1) require speech and language therapy services to have a pathway for when a child
or young person is not brought to an appointment, including for children and young
people who are known to be at higher risk of poorer outcomes or safeguarding issues,
(2) ensure and appropriately resource speech and language therapy services to provide
support in settings that meet the needs of the children or young people and their
parents and carers, and (3) monitor and report on the number of children and young
people who are discharged from speech and language therapy services because they were
not brought to an appointment.
