213 Mr. J. O’Keeffe asked the Minister for Education and Science if her attention has been drawn to concerns that many educational psychologists are no longer available to do work under the scheme for the commissioning of psychological assessments due to the fact that the rate set for assessments in 2001 has not been increased, despite inflation and the cost of new tests; if her attention has further been drawn to the fact that many psychologists on the panel will not take on behavioural difficulty cases, as they involve such an enormous number of hours; and if she has proposals to confront the situation, in order that the SCPA scheme can operate fully and effectively.
