I wish to advise the Deputy that July Provision is available to all special schools and mainstream primary schools with special classes catering for children with autism that choose to extend their education services through the month of July. My Department also provides July Provision for pupils with a severe/profound general learning disability. Where school based provision is not feasible, home based provision may be grant aided.

The child referred to by the Deputy does not meet the eligibility criteria for July Provision; a response to this effect issued to the Deputy in recent days in response to his representation on the matter.
