Question 75: To ask the Minister for Education and Science his views on the recent report from the National Educational Psychological Service which states that considerably more primary school pupils are entitled to additional teaching in the form of resource teaching or learning support than are currently availing of it; his plans to extend resources to cover those pupils who are not at present availing of the service but are entitled to; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The National Educational Psychological Service has not published any reports that comment on the incidence of pupils in need of learning support or resource teaching. It has conducted a screening project in primary schools in two areas of the country but the findings are still being analysed, prior to submission of the report to my Department.
