To ask the Minister of Health (i) whether he has seen a draft of the Department of Education's End to End Review of Special Educational Needs report; and (ii) to what extent his Department has been involved in its production.

My Department is supportive that the End-to-End Review is the key driver of transformation and cross-departmental collaboration for Special Educational Needs.

A summary report and a draft delivery plan has been shared with officials. It will be presented for my consideration following a meeting of senior officials between both departments to finalise actions.

Departmental and Public Health Agency officials have been fully embedded in several DE’s structures as part of the review and oversight of the policy interface. These structures have provided several opportunities to share information across departmental boundaries and inform the production of the report and delivery plan.
