Update on Psychiatry UK waiting times

Just had a note on the web portal with an update on waiting times for the assessment appointment for anyone who is interested or in the process at the moment. Not great in terms of my anxiety over it all but I can't really fault it when I'm one of the people adding to their caseload.

    I believe that the Covid lockdowns increased the demand for autism assessments. I was diagnosed by Psychiatry UK in February 2021 and only had to wait 3 weeks - though I paid myself. The extension of the 'Right to Choose' NHS scheme from ADHD to include autism has made the demand for assessment by Psychiatry UK vastly higher.
