Two surveys have opened to get feedback on health services for people with autism and children with complex needs.

The questionnaires are part of a review being carried out by the Health and Care Transformation Programme.

A new integrated approach for both services is planned, offering a holistic, person-centred approach.

Health Minister David Ashford is encouraging parents who have a child with care needs to get in touch.

The link to the surveys is available here and the deadline is Thursday, November 26.
