At the start of Autism Awareness Week, Minister for Social Services & Public Health, Rebecca Evans, announced additional funding of £7m for the National Integrated Autism Service. The announcement brings the total amount of funding allocated to supporting autism services in Wales to £13m up to 2021.
Wales is the first part of the UK to create a national service to provide lifetime support to children & adults with autism, and their families. The innovative service, which will be rolled out across the country by 2018, will provide new adult diagnostic services; support for families & carers; help with transition from child to adult provision and training for professionals. |
