I am pleased to advise the Deputy that my Department will write to the family in the coming days confirming sanction of a home tuition grant for a home based education programme during July. An application form for payment of the grant will accompany the letter. It will be a matter for the child's family to complete and return this form when the tuition is completed. The payment claim will be processed as quickly as possible following receipt.
