An Update on Autism and ADHD.

As you will all know autism and ADHD waiting times across Solihull have been far too long for years.
Over the last (almost) 6 years Solihull Parent Carer Voice have been challenging the health system regarding these and we continue to do so.
We are pleased that ADHD waiting times, whilst still too high have started to reduce significantly.
Autism waiting times however continue to grow.
A business case from the health provider trusts has been submitted to the Integrated Care Board (health) for funding to address the waiting times and increase ongoing capacity so the services have the capacity to see the number of children and young people that are referred. We are waiting to hear the decision on this.

We are in constant conversations with the local authority and the Integrated Care Board regarding this. Waiting times are raised at the SEND Executive board and are also discussed with the Department for Education and NHS England.
We will keep you updated when we hear more.
