I am informed by the Education Authority that there are currently fewer than five children in Special Schools not attending school due to the lack of appropriate health care support in school, including adequate nursing provision.
Additionally, fewer than five children in Special Schools have experienced, since the start of 2026 academic year, disrupted attendance due to the lack of appropriate health care support in school, including adequate nursing provision.
