Certain private companies have been commissioned by the NHS to provide Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) assessments.
Under the NHS RTC, you will not have to pay for your assessment and treatment as this will be covered by the NHS. Please note that if you self-refer, RTC does not apply and you will be required to pay.
Please note that if you are already on the waiting list for an NHS assessment and would like to change to a RTC provider you will need to contact the NHS service directly to ask that you are removed from their waiting list before any RTC referral can be completed. This is because you cannot be on two waiting lists for the same service.
Before requesting a referral under right to choose please read this important update from the ICB regarding new referral criteria which came into effect on 1st April 2026.
Please be aware that we only offer referrals to limited number of providers who have been approved by our ICB. Patients wanting to be referred to an alternative service will need to go private.
