Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism

Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Bernard O'Regan:

We are trying to a range of things on the disability services side, which is exactly as the Deputy framed it, What can we do today while still looking at what can be done tomorrow?

There is a piece of work going on at the moment led by the chief operating officer of the HSE to bring key people together at CHO level, national operations across primary care, mental health and disabilities and clinical programmes that take a look at what are we doing in support of children regardless of disability, mental health or whatever. It is trying to say we have lots of pathways around integrated working, where we are at with them and what we can do to improve the experience for children and adolescents.
