- Question
- Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Rooker on 20 June (WA 67), whether the multi-disciplinary early intervention team from the Newry and Mourne Trust that provides early intervention services in the Armagh and Dungannon Trust has the full-time services of a consultant paediatrician; and how many full-time speech therapists are currently working with autistic children in these two trusts.
- Answer
-
At present a locum is acting into the position of consultant community paediatrician while a recruitment exercise is taking place to fill the post substantively. There are approximately six whole-time equivalent speech and language therapists working within Newry and Mourne Trust and Armagh and Dungannon Trust, these posts do not work exclusively with children with autistic spectrum disorder, but do provide support for children with autism in special care schools, learning support units and community clinics.
