Labour — West Lancashire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 November 2024

Debate

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Contribution

I apologise for my premature bobbing at the beginning of this questions session, Mr Speaker. My constituent has been waiting for more than a year for Conservative-run Lancashire county council to issue her 15-year-old son’s EHCP. In that time he has attempted suicide and has stopped eating, and my constituent’s health is suffering as a result of the stress. How can the Minister reassure my constituent that the additional £1 billion for SEND provision will speed up the issuing of EHCPs so that students with special needs receive the support that they need?
