Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Pat Matthews:
There is enough information there. It is the continuity. When people finish a strategy, what happens to it? Is there an implementation plan? To my mind, there is not. The next government that comes in puts that strategy on the shelf, or somewhere in the archives, and it is forgotten about. That is the annoying part about it. We have done a lot of good work in the past, as has the State, but it is not using it. It is at implementation where it fails.
