Written Answers. - Attendants for Mentally Handicapped.
The question of child care assistant support is one of the issues being addressed by the special committee established to examine the educational provision for children with special needs.
I can assure the Deputy that I will consider the position regarding childcare assistance sympathetically when I receive the report of the special committee.
