Text
Minister, you have described SEN as one of the greatest pressures facing your Department. Parents across my constituency of South Down and others face long delays in getting assessment and the right services in place. Aside from the argy-bargy and the back and forward in the Chamber for social media, what will you do with the extra money that you have been given? What will that deliver on the ground, and when will it happen? Parents want help for their children now.
