Special Educational Needs: Lincolnshire
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many children are on the SEND waiting list in (a) South Holland and the Deepings constituency and (b) Lincolnshire.
Answered by Catherine McKinnell
The department does not hold information on the number of children waiting to be assessed for an education, health and care (EHC) plan.
The department collects information from local authorities on the number of requests for an EHC needs assessment, the number of EHC needs assessments carried out, and the number of EHC plans issued within the statutory 20 week timeframe. This data is available here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/education-health-and-care-plans/2024.
