I understand that the local Special Educational Needs Organiser (SENO) and the Education Welfare Officer (EWO) together with the Health Service Executive (HSE) are liaising with the family in relation to this student's needs.

The Deputy will be aware that matters regarding health related services for this person are a matter for the HSE.
