Text
I concur with the Minister that patient safety is ultimately the top priority, but patient safety is also important, as the Member said, in terms of assessments. If you cannot get assessments, your safety is compromised. Following on from the issue of assessment, Minister, what progress has been made in improving autism services for adults once assessed, particularly in relation to accessing mental health support and supported living to enable autistic adults to live as independently as possible?
