## Resource

HSE unveils a new autism assessment plan aimed at slashing wait times—potentially cutting years off the backlog—but advocacy groups warn it risks undermining kids’ legal rights to thorough, multi-disciplinary evaluations. The proposed three-tier system, launching mid-2027, could overload CAMHS services and lead to inadequate assessments, causing real harm. While HSE claims it’s partnering with groups and deploying special teams to train staff, critics insist this isn’t a replacement for statutory assessments—and demand safeguards to ensure no child slips through the cracks.
