Thank you for your request regarding information on neurodevelopmental services.
Unfortunately, we cannot provide a response for the information requested.
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..
However, the ADHD assessment service for under 11s is still offered by Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust community paediatrics team
with an active plan to transfer over to GHC by the end of 2024.
Due to the ongoing merge of these pathways and the fact that the activity data requires a detailed validation we cannot accurately identify children
and young people who are waiting for an ASD or ADHD assessment
