I note that the Minister talks about schools having access. I know one case in which a family was told they could have the assessment in the middle of June, when the child was leaving the school. There is a huge problem there, when one looks at the figures, with children who need a psychological report having to wait for an entire academic year.

Capital funding specific to education certainly needs to be examined.
