I cannot comment on the specific case raised by the Deputy. I am not aware of the details and background to it. The Minister has introduced a suite of measures to try to help schools with substitution. I can understand that in some subject areas, such as perhaps chemistry and physics, there may be more challenges in getting replacement or substitute teachers. I suggest that the Deputy contacts the Minister with a view to seeing what can be done.
