HMGoG welcomed GSD support on neurodevelopmental pathway - 247/2024

His Majesty's Government of Gibraltar notes and welcomes the statement issued by the GSD this morning regarding the employment of five new Senior Paediatric Support Workers at the GHA.

Reacting to the statement, the Minister for Health and Care, the Hon Gemma Arias-Vasquez, said: "I was very pleased to read the statement issued by the GSD this morning further to our announcement that we have employed five new Senior Paediatric Support Workers at the GHA as a fundamental step in our neurodevelopmental strategy.

"I welcome Ms Ladislaus' support in working with us on this pathway, particularly to support and indeed detect those with ASD/ADHD, and I welcome the tone of her statement. Ms Ladislaus and I have been in touch directly on this and have agreed to work together on this and de-politicise this issue. It is only right and proper that we work together to achieve the best possible strategy both for children and adults."
