1605. Deputy Paul Lawless asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the oversight mechanisms in place to ensure that assessment of need findings accurately reflect the functional impact of a child's disability; the review options available where parents believe an assessment of need does not reflect the documented impact on access to education; the way in which the coordination occurs between the Health Service Executive, the National Council for Special Education and schools where assessment of need findings appear inconsistent with medical, educational or functional assessments; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
