I would certainly any attempt to try to reduce it. A school on the north side of Dublin where parents do not have the means to seek a private assessment is likely to have fewer SNAs than a school on the south side of Dublin with the same number of children with the same conditions where parents might be able to pay for it. That is completely unacceptable and it is happening purely because of an assessment process by the HSE.
