Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Special Educational Needs Provision: National Council for Special Education and Health Service Executive

Mr. Pat Healy:

We are doing work on that, and we have not got a definitive position worked out yet. Specifically on the Deputy's area of interest, I mentioned earlier that with the additional 21 posts we are putting in, the five we approved last year, and the 2.5 replacement posts, there is an increase of 20%. That will certainly have an impact. We are doing work on what the overall requirement would be over time. Part of what we have to do in this regard is examine how we roll out the new model as we reconfigure it. We will develop this analysis for ourselves over time.
