Getting ready to vote at the European Parliament International Trade Committee INTA on the so called "safeguard clause" on the #Mercosur agreement. Needless to say I will be voting against what is nothing but political perfume for a skunk of an agreement.

Brain dump. This does, on its face, streamline the AON process - Norma Foley repeatedly said today that parents pursue AONs in pursuit of therapies, not just to get a diagnosis (etc). But, in doing so, the AON is by stealth being reframed as an assessment of therapeutic need -
The Minister for Children, Disability and Equality @NormaFoleyTD1, and Minister of State for Disability @EmerHigginsTD today announced targeted reforms to improve the Assessment of Need (AON) process for children and their families.
