Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Pat Matthews:

It is continuity that is the problem. We have a lot of reports, plans and strategies but they are all shelved. There is good stuff in every one of them but there is no continuity. We start again with another report or developing another strategy. What is wrong with the ones we have? The strategies should be looked at again and the best taken. We should put them all together and merge them. We will then have continuity so we are not wasting years of people's lives developing strategies and plans, which is all good work, that are never used. We have to use what we have got. We do not have to reinvent things.
