Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed)
Joan Collins (Dublin South Central, Independents 4 Change) | Oireachtas source
I welcome Suzanne and Jacqueline. The witnesses have covered a good bit of what I would have asked. I want to ask two questions, the first on workforce planning. How is that being dealt with as services are being expanded in Scotland? Are there special educational processes that are being set up to get more therapists into the service? Second, is respite run on a charity basis or is it done on a public health basis through the NHS? What sort of respite is available for people with disabilities, including autism? Those are my two main questions.
