To be told your just turned 3 year old daughter who needs significant specialist support/intervention will be seen in July 2028 is heartbreaking.

Meanwhile every professional you speak to/literature you read talks about early intervention at a young age.

She’ll be 6 and a half.

@bbboatclub It's a great logo for sure. Meanwhile in the 40s a vaguely elderly looking, unsmiling Britain was pursuing a getaway Ireland. Wales is doing the driving and Scotland acts as lookout. England is not contributing much to the effort here... Old BSM logo

Wow! Hits the nail on the head. This editorial traces the deprofessionalisation of NHS general practice. The legacy of austerity, bad politics and a proud profession caving in to box ticking.

Why still no mainstream media coverage of what is unarguably newsworthy testimony before a parliamentary committee?

@AnnTravers6 @SimonHarrisTD Waste of your and your doctor's time. But especially an insult to you. Sorry you have to deal with this type of stuff. Just not good enough really

@naomi_long @danielfgormley You may be denying the accusation, but you have not actually refuted it.

Latest crisis is the failure to provide transfer of care to adult services when kids turn 18
All those on ADHD medication, which requires specialist follow up are simply being discharged!
Adult services refusing to accept transfer of care
