I have responsibility for implementing the free Pre-School Year in Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) scheme, which was introduced in January of this year. However, the provision of assistance to children with special needs attending pre-schools is a matter for the Health Service Executive (HSE) and I have therefore referred this matter to the Executive for direct reply to the Deputy.
