Mr. Bernard O'Regan:

I will try to respond to some of the Deputies' questions. As regards autism services in County Mayo, Ms Crehan-Roche, the chief officer for CHO west, is present and I will ask her to come in on that issue presently.

As regards the family forums, there are currently five of them in place. There are approximately 50 in respect of which work is actively going on at the moment towards their implementation. The work on implementing the others is commencing, with the expectation that all family forums will be in place and active by the end of the year. That is what we are working towards.
