I propose to take Questions Nos. 81 and 82 together.
In response to the question recently raised by you, regarding the number of teacher absences that qualify for substitution and that were recorded on the online claims system, I had responded to advise you that the information requested was not readily available, but that the information would be compiled and forwarded directly to you.
I had also advised that as the amount of information requested was extensive, and was required to be collated from a number of information sources, that this process would be likely to take some time to complete.
I can advise you that a response in relation to this matter is currently being prepared and will be issued directly to you in the coming days.
