Question:125 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Education and Science if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the resource teaching hours available to a person with special needs at a school (details supplied) have been reduced from five to 3.5 hours; if her attention has been further drawn to the fact that the assistance of the special needs assistant is not available to this person for the last hour of school each day and that such a decision to curtail services to a special needs person causes great anxiety to the parents and to the teachers who combine to ensure that there is real integration into the ordinary classroom; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
