Francis Noel Duffy (GP), Dublin South-West

I speak on behalf of a group of national school principals who work in some of the most disadvantaged areas in Dublin. They are grateful for the DEIS programme. However, they believe a DEIS plus band is required to assist children in these areas who experience trauma and adverse childhood experiences. The north inner city multidisciplinary teams model is equivalent to a DEIS plus. Can this model be expanded to include children who face similar disadvantages? A working group might be the route to action such a programme.
