Lorna Wing Referral

cheesemouse

I self referred to Lorna Wing in Bromley, after being put on a waiting list by my local MH team for assessment (Wait time is years apparently). I sent in a huge wad of very personal paperwork to LW, when they asked for it and been told they have recieved it but I have heard nothing back. It's been over 6 weeks now.I've chased them several times, they take ages to respond and are very abrupt when they do, only telling me I'll "hear back at the end of the week" or "shortly".

I keep hearing that they will charge £3000 for an assessment, yet the paperwork I sent in would be pretty much all the paperwork needed in any assessment. So is the £3000 just for the 3 hour in person assessment? (£1000 an hour???!!!)

What has anyone else who has self refferred as an adult to LW experienced?

    It does seem that quicker assessment is available if you are willing to pay, and I would suspect that Lorna Wing Bromley provides a quality service, however £3000 seems a lot of money

    You'd think so, wouldn't you, but it seems not.

    I don't know for sure that that is what they will charge me for an asessment. £3000 is the figure I have heard from others who have appraoched the Lorna Wing for a private assessment.

    TBH if that is what they are going to charge me, I will not be able to afford it and will just have to wait it out on the NHS list.
