That is a good start. The service is not available in every school. Which schools do not have a service? What is the position on NEPS? How can the Department stand over a system in which a certain number of hours are allocated to a school which then faces Solomon's choice as to which child it will select for assessment? When schools are at their wits' end, they will avail of a private assessment and recoup the money. Where does the amount paid to the private sector show up in the Department's books? I understand the Department is in the middle of a review of the service. Is that information correct?
