The conversation here today is almost making me a little nervous because I am terrified that someone will go and challenge that and that if it ends up being challenged then everything ends up having to be 36 hours. That would slow down delivery again because I have no other mechanism of it. However, at the same time the HSE and the Department of Education accept them as long as they are under the framework. A child can access that classroom space based on the private assessment they have received, so long as it is covered off and signed off by the HSE. Does Ms Hodson want to explain this a little better?
