I want to get Mr. Darmody’s thoughts on this. Let us say I have a child who has perceived dyslexia, a sensory processing disorder or ADHD and, at the moment, my child can access services based on that potential diagnosis. There are also two-year-olds who might need to access home tuition or an autism class and they will need the diagnosis to access that service. Would Mr. Darmody be in favour of prioritising the assessment of need list based on those who are currently not accessing services because they do not have their diagnoses?
