I understand the Minister proposes to withdraw the amendment, but I seek clarity on the following matter. On the refusal of admission to children who do not have special needs, as specified, how is the matter to be determined? For example, will it be determined on the basis of a diagnosis? When I questioned the Minister on the resource allocation, his response was that there was a move away from diagnosis. How does this fit in with the resource allocation model?
