Paying Privately for Adult Aspergers Assessment?

ice lolly

Hello all,

I am thinking of paying privately for an adult Aspergers assessment (for myself) so that I don't have to wait for my GP to refer me, and was wondering if anyone had any experience of doing this ...

Thanks!

  • Although published 1n 1968, Samuel Mencher's book 'British private medical practice and the NHS' is, I feel, still relevant for todays debate. Here is a quote from page 99: ''Patients who pay, often come without the knowledge or approval of their family doctor. Desiring to avoid out-patient queues, the private patient subjects the doctor to barely disguised bribery''. The NHS, on the other hand, is unresponsive to consumer demand and the whims of the profit motive.
