HC Deb 25 June 1991 vol 193 c456W
Mr. Steinberg

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what plans he has to encourage schools to purchase private services to deal with special educational needs; and if this includes purchase of the hospital psychologist service for educational psychology.

Mr. Fallon

Where schools have delegated budgets under local management of schools they are free to purchase services from anywhere and will be looking to ensure that the services they receive provide value for money and are effective.
