534 Miss M. Wallace asked the Minister for Education the recommendations of the Special Education Review Committee which she intends to implement in the coming 12 months. [15921/96]
A departmental task force was established to examine the recommendations contained in the Special Education Review Committee Report, with a view to drawing up a phased action plan for its implementation. The task force has drawn up an action plan with the aim of giving effect to the review committee's recommendations over a four year target period, having regard to likely resource availability and the need to prioritise responses.
I have adopted a positive approach in relation to the recommendations and wish to see them implemented as quickly as possible.
