Children
Thank you for your request regarding information on neurodevelopmental services.
Unfortunately, we cannot provide a response for the information requested.
Prior to 2022 the ADHD assessment pathway for over 11s was commissioned within the
generic CAMHS team and, therefore, it was not possible to identify activity for different
pathways within this service.
The ADHD assessment services for under 11s has been delivered by Gloucestershire
Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust community paediatrics team.
From 2022 onwards, a joint neurodevelopmental assessment service for 0 to 18-year olds for
autism spectrum disorder and ADHD has been rolled out by Gloucestershire Health and Care
NHS Foundation Trust GHC.. Having mentioned that, the ADHD assessment service for
under 11s is still offered by the community paediatrics team with an active plan to transfer
over to GHC by the end of 2024.
