Future needs of young people receiving botulinum toxin A in paediatric rehabilitation services of New South Wales: focus on transition.

Young people (YP) with neurological disabilities such as cerebral palsy are increasingly living into adulthood and require healthcare transition for services including for botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A). We analysed medical records in the three children's hospitals in New South Wales (NSW) and identified 253 YP who are expected to transition from paediatric to adult BoNT-A services in NSW and Australian Capital Territory during 2018-2023. A substantial proportion of these YP have additional needs that will require paediatric and adult health services to work together to improve their life-long health outcomes.
