We at South Wales Autism Assessments would love to discuss with Sarah Murphy MS for Bridgend & Porthcawl and her team how we can continue to assist the NHS in reducing their Autism and ADHD waiting lists.

We’ve had some fantastic feedback from Powys PHTB commissioners; children and families but as a Caerphilly based service would love to also provide NHS assessments to our local families too.

Labour created the NHS. We will always protect it. This Budget invests in it.

After a monthly record fall in waiting lists, we're investing more in Wales' NHS to keep cutting waiting lists.

I founded this charity 16 years ago because of my youngest son, Danny.

Last week, he helped our Parent Support Team at the Coffee, Cake & Chat session we were hosting for the parents we support!

It wasn’t planned – he just popped into the office and it ended up happening! There were giggles, tears and lots of hugs...

Moments like these remind me exactly why I started this charity all those years ago. 💜

Hugs,

Im just writing a report about a child who is in specialist provision. It's a brilliant school and the team have done wonders since I saw her a few years ago, I spoke to the SLT who works with her, who is doing a marvellous job. Unfortunately, as part of cost-cutting, we are seeing many LAs want to move children out of 'expensive provision' to their own, cheaper schools so her parents wanted an external professional to see the full picture.

The girl has made amazing progress but disrupting this environment by reducing support or changing placement would remove the very conditions that make learning possible for her.

It is important to be clear that current progress does not indicate reduced need. On the contrary, it demonstrates that:
Progress is occurring because of the specialist provision, not in spite of it.
If this level of support were removed or diluted, the likely outcomes include:
• Increased anxiety and emotional distress
• Withdrawal from peers
• Regression in communication and social confidence
• Reduced engagement with learning
• Potential school refusal
These outcomes would not only undermine her education but would likely lead to increased long-term costs through crisis intervention and mental health support.
Removing or reducing specialist provision would not promote independence or resilience. Instead, it would remove the scaffolding that currently allows her to function, placing her emotional wellbeing, education, and future outcomes at serious risk.
