Specialised neurodevelopmental assessments and mental health services for adults and children
Long waiting times for NHS mental health and neurodevelopmental services are increasingly preventing people from accessing timely assessment, treatment and support.
There is a strong need to boost the capacity of NHS services – particularly the provision of Autism and ADHD assessments. While alternatives do exist, in the form of Right to Choose, or private healthcare, these options are not universally accessible to all.
With an insourced service, NHS providers can offer patients more timely access to NHS-led ADHD and Autism assessments, reducing waiting times and significantly increasing the availability of neurodevelopmental services.
Compared to outsourced services, insourcing allows NHS providers to have more control and visibility, since the aim is to expand the existing capacity of NHS-led resources, using NHS systems, premises and workflows.
