The service continues to increase the number of face-to-face appointments with video / telephone consultations available when clinically appropriate.
A clinical priority booking system remains in place.
Priority one:
These are pre-school children, children who move into year 6 while on the waiting list, those at risk of exclusion and safeguarding / looked after children.
The target wait to first assessment is 18 weeks.
Priority two:
All other children who fall outside of the priority one remit.
The longest wait is approx. 67 weeks, but this may change depending on demand and capacity.
