Background
Children accessing these services include those with complex medical needs, dysphagia, neurodevelopmental conditions and physical disabilities. Community SALT, OT and Physio prevent hospital admissions, support education settinga and reduce reliance on crisis services. Removing specialist clinicians will increase long-term public cost and place vulnerable children at risk. Early intervention prevents preventable harm and reduces the risk of avoidable mortality.
