Am I to take it that, if a number of siblings require home tuition, their total number of hours will be combined to match a one-to-one allocation scenario? I know of an instance of three children who require home tuition and have varying degrees of autism. Instead of an allocation to a household, therefore, they would be entitled to the full amount as if they were individual cases. There is some confusion about the memo issued by the Department regarding the July provision scheme. Will the Minister clarify the matter? He set out the situation in his answer, but will he confirm whether my belief is accurate?
