You can be referred within the NHS for an autism diagnostic assessment, and this will provide you with a local, comprehensive face-to-face assessment. Unfortunately, the waiting time for an NHS referral is currently more than 2 years. If you feel that this is too long to wait, you have the ‘Right to Choose’(RTC) an assessment from a provider in the private sector, under the NHS.
Clinical Partners is the current provider that NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB has directly commissioned and hold a contract to deliver ASD services to our patients.
