Support right to choose assessments for ADHD and Autism
Remove the cap that the ICB's have introduced on RTC assessments for ADHD and Autism. It is important that diagnosis is made available outside of the long NHS waiting times, in order to reduce long term pressures on the NHS. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent long term MH needs.

Reconsider the RTC hold placed by many ICBs for RTC assessments for ADHD and Autism. These are under diagnosed conditions, despite the current political view and miscommunication that these are over diagnosed conditions.
