<p>The Department for Education has not made such an estimate. Where a child has a
statement of special educational needs (SEN), it should detail the provision that
the child requires to meet their SEN. The local authority has a duty to ensure that
the provision set out in the statement is made.</p><p> </p><p>Where a parent feels
that the provision specified in a statement is no longer sufficient, they can request
a reassessment. They can appeal to the First-tier Tribunal for Special Educational
Needs and Disability against any decision not to re-assess, or if they do not agree
with the provision set out in the resulting statement.</p><p> </p><p>The Children
Act 2014 makes provision for education, health and care plans (EHC plans) to replace
statements. EHC plans will cover the full range of the child's needs. They will be
subject to the same protections and rights of appeal as statements. In addition there
will be a new duty on health commissioners to arrange health provision set out in
the EHC plan.</p><p> </p>
