Does the Minister of State have anything to say about the children who had to wait so long for psychological assessment by the Department of Education and Science? There appears to be a freeze in regard to one-to-one tuition that should be provided for these pupils with special needs. Many of these pupils are losing 15% of their educational potential because this resource is not being provided. Will the Minister of State request the Department to issue a reply on this matter?
