Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2017
357. Deputy Pat Buckley asked the Minister for Education and Skills to outline the reason funding was refused by the HSE to supply a nurse to a person (details supplied) who has been out of school since February 2017. [13712/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department provides funding for a range of Special Educational Supports in schools. These include Special Education Teachers and Special Needs Assistants.
My Department does not fund nursing provision in schools. Where nurses are funded in schools the funding is provided by the HSE and accordingly questions on funding for nursing provision in schools should be addressed to my colleague the Minister for Health.
