A study involving 201 managers of speech and language therapy (SLT) services in England examined the use of Standards Fund money for SLT. Results indicate limited improvement in funding for SLT, however, the sum reaching SLT is 2.4 million pounds, which represents one-quarter of the target figure of 10 million. (Contains 9 references.)
