Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

Autism Spectrum Disorder Bill 2017: Discussion

Mr. Stephen Douthart:

With reference to whether service provision is better North or South, I will start by saying it is different and then ask my colleagues to elaborate a bit. It is different because the approaches by the different departments are different and so are the legislation and funding. As such, we are mandated by the departments with responsibility for education and the respective departments have some similarities on this shared island, but also some differences. I might hand over to Dr. McCaffrey to articulate that in some more detail.
