Ombudsman calls for clearer ADHD and autism care pathways

What was published

The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman reported fragmented access to ADHD and autism services. One cited investigation found that an NHS body wrongly denied a patient choice of provider, delaying treatment by five months.

Why it matters

A complaint may need the referral history, written reasons for refusal and a clear account of the resulting delay. The report makes recommendations; it does not determine every individual patient’s entitlement.
