Thank you, Minister. We can all agree that all we want to do is improve the lives of those with autism. What steps are being taken to ensure that sensory-friendly adjustments, such as quiet areas, sensory toys, trained staff and better changing facilities, are available in hospital environments, particularly A&E, to better accommodate individuals with autism and their families?
