356 Dr. Upton asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will give details of the number of pupils attending primary and secondary school in Dublin 8, Dublin 12 and Dublin 6W who have been diagnosed as having a learning difficulty; and if he will give details of the number for each school.

357 Dr. Upton asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will give details of the number of pupils from Dublin 8, Dublin 12 and Dublin 6W availing of his Department's psychological service; if he will give details of the number for each school; and if he will give details of the average waiting time for an appointment in this regard. [17671/97]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 356 and 357 together.
The details requested in the two questions relate to assessments and diagnoses made by members of my Department's psychological service. In addition, pupils in the named areas may also be assessed and diagnosed by remedial teachers, guidance counsellors, vocational education committee psychologists and health board psychologists.
Work with individual pupils is only one part of the work in schools of my Department's psychological service. A major objective is to develop a preventive approach towards the management of developmental difficulties in children. In addressing those difficulties which are experienced by some pupils, indirect or group approaches can represent the most effective use of resources. Some school principals opt for such approaches in preference to individual assessment work with pupils.
