Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps he is taking to ensure sufficient capacity for children and young people with vision impairments to be assessed by education and habilitation VI specialists to enable a plan to be devised for them to (a) access learning and (b) develop their independence.

In relation to the capacity of education and habilitation VI specialists to allow for the assessment of all young people with vision impairment and to support their access to learning and the development of independence, I refer the hon. Member for West Lancashire to the answer I gave on 21 February 2019 to 222014.
