The Minister of State referred to a prevalence estimate of 3.8%, which is as near as makes no difference to 4%. Based on my calculation, it means there are approximately 48,000 people in the system who are on the spectrum. There is a huge range of need within that. I ask again how she would characterise the capacity to meet that need. Is the system in crisis or is it doing fine?
