(asked on 15th October 2021) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has any plans for the NHS to provide dyslexia diagnosis services.
This question was answered on 2nd November 2021
We have no plans to do so. Assessments are currently provided through Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) services by an educational psychologist or an appropriately qualified specialist dyslexia teacher. We are currently reviewing the provision of SEND services, including those for dyslexia, to ensure that needs can be identified as early as possible.
