I support all Senators who said there should be greater investment in services for people with disabilities. I wish to highlight the question of autistic children and children who suffer from attention deficit disorder, which I have raised on the Adjournment and during other health debates. One of the crippling failures in the system, about which I received another letter from an agonised parent today, is the inability of the State to provide speech therapy. This must be looked at as efficiently as possible. It is destructive not to have it available when parents know their children could be helped but for the absence of speech therapists. I know the problem relates in part to the universities but it should be examined.
