Education for Persons with Disabilities Bill 2003: Report Stage (Resumed).
11:00 am
Noel Dempsey (Meath, Fianna Fail)
I move amendment No. 54:
In page 9, line 21, after "shall" to insert ", unless an assessment under section 3 of the child is being or has been carried out,"
This amendment relates to a point that was made by Deputy O'Sullivan yesterday. It will ensure that the council or the health board will not be obliged to carry out an assessment of a child if an assessment has been or is in the process of being carried out. The amendment is designed to avoid duplication and the needless over-assessment of children.
