Held Health -Can't contact them-

Hi all,

I have recently used my 'Right ro use' option  to ask my daughters GP to refer her to Held Health for an autism assesment. I chose them because they apparently have a 2-12 week wait for assesment, unlike her current provider, whose wait list is four years, ( and we have already been on their waiting list for two years).

I have sent all the required forms to Held Health over a month ago and my daughters school have confirmed they have done the same. However, I have been trying to contact Held Health (Exeter) to check they now have all required paperwork, and that I am now just waiting for an appointment, but I am finding it impossible to get hold of them.

I have called and left telephone messages, emailed and sent in a contact form, and they have not replied to any of my messages since I first tried to contact them two weeks ago.  Has anyone else had any experience of this with Held Health? I had been recommended them by someone who said they are very efficent and quick, but their lack of communication is concerning and makes me doubt them. As they are a private provider, I'm worried that I may wait several months and then find they are no longer in business or something and will have to start the process all over again.

  • Hi, they never replied to any of my emails or phone calls and I just gave up trying to message them in the end.

    However yesterday, I got an email saying my daughter’s paperwork has been assessed now and that we will be offered an appointment within 18 weeks of when they received all the relevent forms, which was the 4th September. They have said not to contact them during the wait period and there was no mention of me having tried to contact them previously in the email I received from them. It was just a generic email really.
    You may just have to wait for them to contact you I’m afraid, it’s very frustrating isn’t it. I hope you hear something soon x
