For example, myriad organisations provide adult services for people with autism straight after secondary school or there are also agencies doing this work and being directly supervised by the HSE. Reasonably often I come across issues relating to failures where services are supposed to be provided but they turn out to be inappropriate and the person does not go to the service. It is being paid for but the service is not being used in such circumstances. The level of supervision of that leads to the inadequacy of the services.
