My Department sanctioned ten hours special needs assistant support and two and a half hours resource teaching support per week for the pupil in question, in August 2003. I can confirm that my Department recently received an application for full-time special needs assistant support for this pupil from the school referred to by the Deputy. This application will be considered by my Department and a decision will be conveyed to the school authorities as quickly as possible.
