It is positive to know that trained professionals will be coming into the system later this year.

That is all of our questions for today.

I thank the guests sincerely for attending the meeting. Their attendance and comments have been extremely beneficial. Any other information or recommendations they feel would be beneficial to us as a committee can be sent to the clerk to the committee and will be circulated to the members. Our aim is to publish our report on 1 June 2023. We are hopeful that the recommendations we make will be implemented over time by Government, and by future Governments. All of the members are committed to making sure the report does not sit on a shelf and that its recommendations are implemented. It is important that it is implemented because it is about making positive changes for both young children and young autistic adults as well.

As there is no other business on our agenda, we will adjourn..
