I propose to take Questions Nos. 611, 615 and 644 together.
I am aware of the issue raised by the Deputies.
My Department allocated £14,000 to the centre in question in 1998. However, as has been previously indicated to the centre, my Department is not in a position to make further funding available. To the extent that funding becomes available to support children with specific learning disabilities, the key focus will continue to be on school based services.
The educational needs of pupils with specific learning disability, including those with dyslexia, should generally be capable of being met within the ordinary school system, with the support, where appropriate, of the remedial teacher service.
