David Rees AM Chair Health and Social Care Committee National Assembly for Wales

Bae Caerdydd / Cardiff Bay  Caerdydd / Cardiff CF99 1NA 15 December 2014

Dear David

Thank you for your letter dated 2 December.  As you are aware the Committee has just published their report on CAMHS and has already agreed do some further work in this area specifically on prescription drugs and referral rates. 

The timing of this work is uncertain at the moment as the Committee has just started considering the Qualifications Wales Bill and has agreed to conduct its next policy inquiry into supply teachers.

Therefore is unlikely the Committee will have the capacity to undertake a piece of work on the Welsh Government’s Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Strategic Action Plan for Wales before the end of this Assembly.

Yours Sincerely

Ann Jones AC / AM

Cadeirydd / Chair
