Delay in diagnosis

My teenage granddaughter has been waiting for two years to see a clinician for a diagnosis. The NHS still can’t give us a date of when she’ll have an appointment. Meanwhile she struggling massively at school and at home. 
My daughter has heard from someone that her school and the NHS won’t accept a private diagnosis from a qualified clinician. Is this so in your experience too?
