Ceist:

395 Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Education and Science her plans to reassess the early assessment in relation to increasing the number of such teams within her Department in view of the positive overview of school principals to such schemes with the only difficulty being the observation that there is not enough such teams available; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Education and Science (Deputy Mary Hanafin)

The matter referred to by the Deputy relates to a service being provided by the Health Service Executive. In the circumstances, I have made arrangements for the Deputy's question to be forwarded to the Department of Health and Children for attention.
