Ms ?ine Lawlor:

That is it. How can we support those families? Under PDS there was the establishment of more shared care and arrangements about how we link for children. Quite often children and families are sitting on multiple waiting lists for multiple services. We need an ease of access to services so that they are not sitting there waiting for things, that they can transition between services and that a child who may have a diagnosis of autism and have mental health needs can have the services that are appropriate to them working together to deliver the care they need. It is not a huge ask. It just requires services coming together and being mandated to work together to deliver that shared care.
