Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy and Health: Health Service Executive
Mr. Bernard O'Regan:
In general, the experience is that families can be waiting 18 to 24 months on average. However, that is not a target. None of us here are saying that is acceptable. The quality of the service we are working towards is a model and a delivery system that is much more timely and responsive and is measured in weeks and months and not years.
