Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. As the Minister will know, the number of children with special educational needs (SEN) has risen sharply in recent years, exceeding the capacity of the health and social care workforce. Minister, what action will your Department take to ensure that it is taking into account all the relevant data from Departments so that it can make sure that every child with special educational needs is receiving the care that they need from the most appropriate person and at the most appropriate time?
