Speech and Language Therapy: We will examine and, if necessary, reform these services, with a view to ensuring earlier intervention and access for families to the HSE. In addition to this, Fine Gael will invest €10m by 2021 to fund 217 additional therapists for a new model of In-School Speech and Language Therapy, involving collaboration between parents, schools and primary care services that has been proven to be effective internationally. Rare Diseases: We will advance the quality of care for all patients with rare diseases through improved programmes of care and new pathways to European Centres.
