The programme for Government contains many chapters. I ask the Taoiseach to indicate whether, even at this late stage, there will be any redrafting or updating of the programme for Government, in particular, whether the entire section dealing with universal health insurance will be formally deleted from the programme for Government and whether there will be a ceremony to announce formally and officially its abolition given that the Taoiseach has been prone to ceremonies for a whole lot of other matters contained in the programme for Government.

Deputy Martin's party would have got run out of ceremonies.

On a specific issue, delivering equity in education, the programme for Government states, "We will consider recommendations of the review of the DEIS programme and use it as platform for new initiatives to deliver better outcomes for students in disadvantaged areas." DEIS suffered cuts of 15% over two years ago. Those cuts have never been reversed, particularly for DEIS band 2 schools. In the review mentioned in the programme for Government, can that matter be addressed as a matter of urgency in the case of those schools?

There was a commitment to publish a plan in the programme for Government for the implementation of the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs, EPSEN, Act 2004 to prioritise access for children with special needs to an individual education plan. The priority would be to move to a system whereby necessary supports follow a child from primary to second level and to achieve greater integration of special needs related services. This is the commitment given four years ago. The results have been in the opposite direction. I have not yet seen any plan for the implementation of the EPSEN Act 2004. Could the Taoiseach indicate the sections of the Act that have been fully commenced?

Have all sections of the Act been commenced? If the Taoiseach does not have the information immediately, could he forward it to me? There is major disquiet in the special education community about the Government's lack of engagement and the cutback in resources, particularly regarding assessment, diagnosis and intervention.

The Government still has a very clear commitment to introducing a single-tier health system. There will be no ceremony. Last week, I confirmed that the Government will not pursue the universal health insurance model assessed by the ESRI. There will not be any ceremony about it. While I will have to check the figures, I think 42 issues in the programme for Government have been completed, 40 have substantial work under way, 11 have been commenced and two have not been commenced. I will advise the Deputy regarding his question on DEIS band 2 schools and the sections of the EPSEN Act that have been commenced or are intended to be commenced.
