Will the Minister ensure that all pupils with Down's syndrome in mainstream schools receive adequate resource hours? I ask this question because there are many families of children of Down's syndrome in particular who are concerned about the lack of resources and adequate services for their children. It is important to highlight this issue. A number of parents are currently engaged with the courts on the issue of resource hours allocation for their children. There is a crisis in this area, which needs to be accepted and dealt with by the Minister.
