Committee on Disability Matters
Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Dr. Aoife O'Donohue:
Through our engagement with the staff teams, we have looked at a number of initiatives regarding the development of the six hubs. The hubs will actually oversee it. A lot of the time, these children have many assessments and interventions. We are looking at the assistance the teams can offer to primary care, CDNTs and CAMHS. The people who require an AON are not just children who are on a CDNT list and being supported by CDNTs. We have looked at the enhancement of the assessment of the resources that has already been done in respect of the child and the in-reach of that. We have had a lot of success in some local teams. Further work needs to be done and there are plans on how we will do that.
