----- it therefore is difficult to get evidence-based data. I seek Professor Buckley's views in this regard because while studying some of the areas in England, I read through an all-party parliamentary report published in 2012 on Down's syndrome that focused on education and some of its recommendations appear to suggest commonsensical approaches. Another area in which I noticed many differences right across Europe concerns the funding models. There is a wide range of funding models and based on her experience, Professor Buckley should provide the joint committee with her opinions both on how the evidence-based data vary across Europe and on the funding models.
