Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with Allied Health Professionals

Supporting people with chronic conditions: evidence session with Allied Health Professionals
Okay, thank you. Also, I went to visit the Cerebral Palsy Cymru head office in Cardiff a couple of weeks ago, and, again, they do a lot of early intervention work. Do you know much about that and the outcomes from that as well?
