My Department provides funding to the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) for the provision of the visiting teacher service for children who are deaf/hard of hearing or blind/visually impaired.

As the management of the visiting teachers service is the responsibility of the NCSE, I have referred the matter raised by the Deputy to the NCSE to respond directly to the Deputy.
