Our daughter Ellie is currently being assessed for ASD. I was gobsmacked to discover our local PCT only have the time and resources to assess 12 children per year. It was explained due to the number of professionals needed and time to write reports very few children are formally assessed. Quite concerning our mental health services have got in such a state, especially CAMHS.
I was wondering if this is typical practice around the UK? I wouldn't imagine many trusts are keen to reveal such figures but guess we were given this information to reflect on how far we have come.
