Proceeding contribution from Joan Humble (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 27 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Autism Bill.


Autism Bill

My hon. Friend and I agree that there needs to be communication between children's services departments and adult social care departments, but we need more than that. Children's services departments have developed appropriate services for many children with autism, but one of the problems facing adult social services departments is that the services are not there for them to purchase and offer to adults with autism, so another outcome that we want from the legislation is the building up of such provision.
