What the petition asks
Ensure that the NHS supports the continued overseeing of medication (risperidone) for anger in autism, and they are not left high and dry with no qualified support when restructuring of NHS happens or renewal of tenders (this is the position as a family we have found ourselves in for over 12 months)
This medication has serious side effects that need to be monitored correctly by a specialist.
