I wish to raise an issue I have brought up previously, which concerns private psychological reports that were not being taken on board by the HSE. Has Ms Dempsey spoken to the Department again about this issue? If schools are only allowed, in essence, to do a couple of evaluations a year, the conundrum is that some of those doing the evaluations for the schools are also in a position to do it privately but their private assessment is not taken on board. Has Ms Dempsey thought about trying to speak to the Department about that again?
