Text

I thank the Minister for his response. Primary-school principals that I am in contact with in my constituency tell me that it is increasingly difficult and slow for pupils who are suspected of having dyslexia to get referred to the EA literacy support service. Can the Minister give the House and concerned parents an assurance that moves towards graduated responses and local integrated SEN support teams are not just euphemisms for the dilution or reduction of services that are currently provided by the EA literacy support service? Are the changes being properly resourced?
