I am hoping you are able to provide me some information. I am an MSc paramedic science student at Nottingham Trent University, and I am undertaking a dissertation around childhood autism diagnosis and the links to adult mental health difficulties. As such, I am reaching out to a number of trusts to obtain some further information on what services are available and gather some information. If you are able to, please could you provide a response to the below questions?
• What service does child autism diagnosis and support fall under within this trust ie CAMHS, Learning Disability, Neurodevelopmental, etc.? • What are the wait times for children receiving an assessment from point of referral? • What is the time between children receiving a diagnosis and an EHCP in place, if applicable? • What service are children passed to when reaching the age of 18?
Thank you for your FOI request.
The service have stated that they are unable to provide consistent data based on diagnosis and that they are developing the Autism pathway at this time and anticipate that this data will be available in the next 12 to 24 Months.
Sorry, that we could not provide the information that you required at the moment, but please do resubmit your request in the future when it is likely to have more information.
