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. |

Businesses must secure their future by addressing the mounting global water crisis, experts said at the launch of WWF-UK’s report ‘From Risk to Resilience: Does your business know its water risk?’ UK industry is being urged to assess supply chains both within the UK & internationally to discover where they might be at risk of water scarcity, poor water quality or reputational damage associated with their use of water. Industries affected are numerous & varied, from textiles to beverages, food to pharmaceuticals. About 40% of UK imports (by value) come from countries that have hot spots of high water risk, with some industries such as textiles more exposed than others. In fact, 80% of all UK imports (by value) face at least a moderate level of water risk. Closer to home, latest Environment Agency figures show that just 17% of England’s rivers are in good ecological health – with a third of the pressures causing failure attributed to agricultural impacts, closely associated with the production of food & drink. |
