We are still waiting for an update from @SKinnock and his team about the action plan for speech and language services, that was promised in our meeting back in March (6 months and no update as of yet).

🙏 Thank you @HealthwatchE for raising awareness of both the value of speech and language therapy, and of the issues that too many people are experiencing in accessing support.
Great to see the @RCSLT 'A profession under pressure' report mentioned too.
