Proceeding contribution from Baroness Featherstone (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Friday, 27 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Autism Bill.

Autism Bill

TreeHouse, which is located in my constituency, does excellent work and is pioneering progress with autism and on the various measures available to offer help. It has just hired a transition officer as its first cohort approaches the age of 18. That is not the case throughout the constituency—many parents have terrible trouble and anxiety about transition; the facilities are simply not there. But even in the light of TreeHouse and the transition officer, nothing follows to assure parents that there is something for their children thereafter. Does my hon. Friend agree?
