If the Minister has an opportunity, will she answer the question on youth I asked in the last session?

Schools received their SNA allocation on Friday. One school was in touch with me in shock. It has two SNAs currently. A review was held in March. It was recommended by the SENOs who carried out the review that there would be an increase of 0.83 - an infant SNA - because of projected enrolments. A number of students enrolled with quite considerable needs. Now they have been informed they still only have two. The principal is hoping it is some sort of clerical error. I will write to the NCSE. I am engaging to see what has happened there. Would it be normal a recommendation from a review would not be upheld?
