How can we ensure that children, people and families can have access to a No Wrong Door system in the context of being able to access the autism therapies and assessments they require? This needs to happen, because we know there are silos in operation, particularly in the context of primary care, children's disability network teams or CAMHS. People are not worried about where they access the service, once they can access it. We all accept that there is an issue in regard to workforce planning and that positions remain unfilled. However, we need to make a determination regarding the best service that we can offer while trying to rectify the other issues. We need to put a plan in place because we are failing people. There is not a lot of trust out there and that is a major issue.
