Ms Anne O'Connor:

When a child or an adult has autism we are not about turning off services. I believe that this service in the west was inappropriately located within mental health services. In the rest of the State it is more in the disability space. We are looking actively at how we improve services; we have examined all autism services nationally to see how we can improve them. We are working with people on this and we have reviewed it. I am not sure about what service has been turned off. They should not be without a service if they have had a service previously-----
