High Court refuses judicial review of a review carried out by the Health Service Executive of the assessment of needs of a child who had been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, where the review concluded that the child no longer met the criteria for disability, on the grounds that: (a) the review of assessment demonstrated that all relevant material had been considered; and (b) there was an alternative statutory process available to the applicants, such that an application for judicial review had not been appropriate.
