Right to Choose Wait Times and ICB Requirements

Important Update

High demand for ADHD services across England means some patients may experience longer waits, particularly where local NHS commissioning or capacity restrictions apply.

The waiting times shown below are estimated for NHS Right to Choose referrals. Depending on demand, referral volumes, and appointment availability, you may be offered an appointment sooner or later than the times indicated. ICB requirements are also subject to change and could impact on estimated wait times.

These estimates are based on completed onboarding and no local ICB restrictions are affecting appointment availability. Although we cannot provide an exact assessment date, the information below provides the latest waiting time estimates for your area. Please ensure your patient portal information is kept up to date and regularly checked while you wait to prevent further delays.
