Dr. Niall Muldoon:

On Scottish Autism and the concept of a commissioner, my office has deliberately never specialised in any area. If people have a child and an issue, we ask them to bring it to our office and we will deal with all of it, whether it relates to education, a child with a minority issue, a refugee, or an international protection issue. We deal with all the children. Our whole mandate is about children interacting with the public service. At this moment in time, I do not see the need to create a specific title for anyone, such as a commission on autism, but I was not aware of that consideration in colleague. I will contact my colleague in Scotland, chat about that and see what the thoughts on that are. I can come back to the Chair if he feels that is worthwhile.
