Autistic Spectrum Disorders Needs Assessment Report
The motion
That the Parliament acknowledges the recent publication of the Autistic Spectrum Disorders Needs Assessment Report undertaken by the Public Health Institute for Scotland; notes the recommendations calling for greater co-operation in working practice between health, education and social services and the desperate need for training all professionals in diagnosis and appropriate aftercare and throughcare packages; further notes the increase in diagnosis, and considers the Scottish Executive should implement these recommendations as soon as possible to ensure that Scotland is seen as a leading provider of care and services to those affected by autistic spectrum disorders.
