A new one-year plan to address priorities for action for children, young people & adults with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) has been published by the Welsh Government. The new interim delivery plan is backed by £600,000 of funding, which is in addition to the £880,000 ASD infrastructure grant which was transferred into the local authority revenue settlement grant this year. The Welsh Government is also investing £2m to develop specific services to better diagnose & support young people with ADHD & ASD. This will reduce waiting times in specialist child & adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) so those with highest levels of clinical need are seen in a more ‘timely’ manner. |
