I understand that the person referred to has already had an educational psychological assessment and that his parents are now waiting for a clinical appointment for him. This is therefore a matter for the relevant health board rather than for my Department.

However, to try to expedite matters, a psychologist from the national educational psychological service, NEPS, has been in touch with the school attended by the person. She has supplied contact details for the local community care psychological service to the school for transmission to the person's parents.
