Such posts should be under the competency of the HSE. I understand what was said about the culture, the three months and the lifestyle of students outside of school. Will the ESRI evaluation show the value of the people that the HSE had deployed in 2018 and 2019 before Covid-19 hit? Surely the evaluation will see the value in having speech and language therapists in schools. The difference is just a building. If a parent has to bring a child from school to go and meet the speech and language therapist in a different building, is there not value from a HSE point of view in providing in-school therapy in schools?
