Stormont Criticized for Autism Scheme Fumble

0:00On March 30, Northern Ireland's independent autism reviewer Imacubit called out storm on last week for fumbling summer schemes at special needs. Schools, labeling it an embarrassing mess from government departments not teaming up. The education authority pulled the plug less than 24 hours before, blaming the Department of Health for lacking specialist nurses, which left, families in the lurch. But ministers from health and education jumped in fast, hashing out a fix so the schemes could run after all. Cubots fired up, asking why the panic hit if a solution came that quick and says kids and parents deserve a straight apology, plus answers from. Ministers Paul Geibin and Mike Nesbitt, ministers called their talks intense and constructive, with nursing now locked in for every site, while lawmakers breathed relief but demanded the full story on this silo, thinking that's hurting autistic families across services. Time to join forces for real.
