Question 694: To ask the Minister for Education and Science if the support services available to a person (details supplied) in County Kildare will continue when their child transfers to a new school; if the existing support services will continue in view of the child's ongoing educational and welfare needs; if he will ensure that no diminution of such support services will occur; the availability of the required educational and health needs for the foreseeable future; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am pleased to advise the Deputy that an official from my Department met with the parent of the child in question in the last week. The National Council for Special Education has advised that additional educational support services will be sanctioned to the post-primary school in question on the same basis as the primary school where the child is currently enrolled.

The provision of health supports to the post primary school is the responsibility of the Health Service Executive.
