Ms Hannah N? Ghiolla Mhairt?n:

There is no transfer. One applies separately. As we mentioned, yesterday the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, announced the launch of a new screening panel so that when you go to your GP and are being referred on to a service, the panel will look to see which service would be best suited to your child. However, what we are not clear on is whether that means that all autistic children will just be sent to the children's disability network team, CDNT, or whether they will still get access to CAMHS? We are hoping that this does not mean that they are excluded from CAMHS and are sent to one or the other. Often, you need both services. Especially with our families, we are looking for mental health services. Our remit does not focus on children's disability networks, although it is all integrated.
