I refer to the Minister’s statement that having a good school psychology service was an area that was very dear to her heart, and I ask:
(a) is it true that the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) school psychologist positions has been reduced by five in the Canning District for the 2010 school year; and
(i) if yes, why; and
(b) what other districts are to have their effective allocation of School Psychologist FTEs reduced in 2010 and by how many in each district?
