There may have been cases where that is the case but I can cite examples of schools which have had additional assessments. Given that the target was set at 184 psychologists, the fact that we will provide 209 will certainly cover the existing need. Those numbers were indicated before the allocation of resource teachers to schools, meaning every school has those teachers as well as a NEPS psychologist for children with individual-specific needs.
