Question:
To ask the Minister of Health, Social Services and Public Safety to make a statement on the current and future provision of paediatric occupational therapy at Oakwood special school, Belfast.

Answer:

There are two paediatric Occupational Therapists at Oakwood Special School. However, the service is currently operating at a reduced level due to a member of staff working reduced hours. Normal service provision will resume with effect from December 2007. There are no plans to extend this service at the School.
