Legislation!! In our Time??
The story so far
In January 2007, the Northern Ireland Transitional Assembly voted in support of Legislation. Cross Party Support was secured and all Political Parties included support for Autism Legislation in their Party Election Manifestos.
We came away from that with a commitment from the Secretary of State to
meet with him to exchange views as well as his promise to correct the alarming
and Ill-formed recommendation of the NI Review of Mental Health & Learning
Disability (Bamford
Review 2006) To place ASD within Mental Health
.
