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?

    Not really sure how a complaint will help when they are very slow to respond anyway. I'm just shocked that they took all those private documents and haven't even bothered telling me what is happening. I feel like I've mugged or something. Especailly given that they could turn down my self-referal. You'd think they would be able to say yes or no to whether they can assess someone without asking for pages and pages of highly confidential reports and other paperwork. Like I've said I feel like I've been mugged or something.
