Dear Grampian Health Board/NHS Grampian,

I am writing to you today under the Freedom of Information Acts to request some information on the waiting lists for Adult & Child Speech & Language Therapy.

Could you please outline the following:

- Current waiting list numbers for Adult and Child Speech and Language Therapy initial appointments in Aberdeenshire Council area (please break these down by child or adult category separately) and by Council or Grampian area where possible eg Aberdeenshire City, etc.
- A list of providers of the service e.g. where this is provided by a third party or by NHS or by Council staff
- The duration of the longest current waiting time on the list for a child patient to be assessed by the SLT service?
- Any current staffing shortfalls that the service has - e.g. for example are you currently recruiting for any SLT staff and if so how long has this vacancy been the case?

Please note I am not asking for any personally identifiable information and do not wish to know the identity of any particular staff members. I am interested in waiting times and subsequent statistics only.

Yours faithfully,

Tim
