444. Deputy Charles Flanagan asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth in relation to a recent proposal implemented in a special school in County Wexford and known as the Wexford model, whereby additional therapy supports were directly commissioned by the HSE and under the governance of the local CDNT manager, if such a model is applicable to other special schools across the State; and if so, if how such proposals may become operational. [39885/24]

As this question refers to service matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
