Ms Andrea Feeney:

The only thing I would say about diagnoses is that a change was made to the scheme in 2016 not to require a diagnosis for the purpose of the RACE scheme. That was done for equity reasons. There was discussion earlier about people being able to pay for supports. In 2016, the scheme had a situation where people were paying for private psychological reports. We changed the scheme so that it moved from being diagnosis-led to needs-led, based on individual students' needs. In looking at dyslexia as a discrete cohort, we would be going back to a situation of diagnosis and that is not desirable in special educational needs education.
