Labour — Washington and Gateshead South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 January 2025

Debate

Auditory Verbal Therapy

Contribution

Am I right in thinking, from what the Minister has just said, that he will issue revised guidance following today’s debate? Am I right that the Government, having given an extra £26 billion to local areas, will give them guidance that they should be looking to commission these services on a much bigger scale, so that we have more than 33 AVT therapists?
