Mr. Frank Hanlon:

That more or less covers it. It would be very difficult to put a ratio in place for SNAs for the reason Ms Mannion is outlining, in that care needs vary from one school to another. One could not say a school with 200 pupils needs the same number of SNAs as another school with 200 pupils. That is as it should be. It is about identifying the individual needs of individual schools. We have the review process in order that additional SNAs can be made available to schools, if they think they need them. It has happened in hundreds of cases in the past 12 months. It is about making sure we have the fairest way of distributing SNAs in the future. When it comes to care needs, it is key that we look at individuals and individual school needs.
