Healthwatch Wirral conducted an online survey during May and June 2024 to gather public feedback from people who are waiting for an assessment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) from services within the NHS.
Key areas of the research included the process of seeking referrals, awareness of specific NHS pathways and agreements, waiting times and experiences with ADHD assessments. This report includes comments from service users, which highlight challenges in accessing ADHD/ASD/ASC assessments, including difficulties with referrals, long waiting times and a lack of support throughout the process. These insights reflect concerns about the availability and effectiveness of current services, particularly for women and children. This report also includes graphical representations of results.
