§ Mr. Craigasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many hospitals 319W in England and Wales have clinics, centres or departments for the purpose of diagnosing or providing assessments of children with dyslexia, specific reading, spelling and writing difficulties.
§ Mr. MoyleIncreasingly, assessment of children with learning difficulties is being undertaken by multi-professional teams, usually based in hospital, and involving consultant paediatricians and other hospital staff. These teams generally operate on a district basis and deal with children with all types of disability. We do not have information centrally about those areas which have clinics solely for children with learning difficulties.
