My final question returns to the earlier point I made about parents of Down's syndrome children who were under the impression that, regardless of what stage their child was at in school, they would be able to avail of July provision.

How many additional places would be needed to accommodate students with Down's syndrome who are currently excluded? Have the witnesses any idea? Is it possible that this could be considered for 2021? I welcome the fact that the primary school students are included this year but I feel for children in secondary school and in preschool who have not been included.
