An estimated 1.2% of young people have autism but the diagnosis rate has soared to over 4%. That's what Prof Fonagy's report says. Whether overdiagnosis or misdiagnosis - support is not going where it should.

Wanting better dementia care is not like a game of "Buckeroo" as you casually claim Wes Streeting. Dementia is the UK's biggest cause of death, affecting nearly 1 million people and their families. You took it out of the NHS planning priorities. Now put it back in.
