Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:38 pm on 1 November 2016.
Well, the Minister has already said that the door is open. What needs to be examined is whether a law would make a difference. If there’s a law on autism, should there be a law on cancer, should there be a law on other services as well? That’s the balance that has to be struck. There’s no doubt we want to see an improvement in services provided to people. I know full well how difficult it is for people who are coping with relatives who have autism, and we want to see those services improve, which is why we’ve taken steps to do that. What we have to examine is whether a law would actually assist in improving those services. And that’s an open question.
