Text

I stress to the Minister that the process needs to be sped up. Those workers have been waiting for six years for the funding to be released. It is completely unacceptable that Ministers, including the Education Minister, got a wage increase and are on £90K a year, when those workers — bus drivers, classroom assistants, bus escorts, catering staff and other staff, some of whom do life-saving procedures — are again told, "You have to wait". I urge the Minister to make sure that the money is released urgently.
