Autism assessment

TheDoctorishere

Hi everyone

My GP is has informed me that the practice doesn't not do referrals to the assessment & that I would have to go private.

I was previously referred in London before I moved to Lowestoft (Suffolk) & when the hospital found out took me off the waiting list.

Is their any other way I can get a referral to the NHS as I can't afford the private cost (without a payment plan)?

  • I would suggest going via Right to Choose. I was still waiting for my assessment three years after being referred, when enquiring about my assessment date I found that my referral got lost in transit. Then I found out about rtc and was seen within a 3 months.
