Clinical Partners states they hold NHS standard contracts across England for ADHD and autism assessments, and ADHD medication, for children aged five and above, young people and adults, with all assessments by video. This site has not verified those contracts. A wait snapshot last updated 27 August 2026 is quoted below. Check current wait on their site.
Independent information site. Not the NHS, not a clinic, not a diagnostic service, and not a referral service. England only. We may receive a fee if you ask this clinic to contact you.

What they state — not what we have verified
On their Right to Choose page they describe themselves as fully eligible. Their GP/referrer page states they are an eligible Right to Choose provider holding NHS standard contracts across England for autism and ADHD assessments for adults, children 5+, young people, and also ADHD medication.
This site has not verified those contracts.
Wait snapshot (theirs, not ours)
Snapshot only, and only if no ICB instruction applies. Do not treat this as a live queue. Their waits page, last updated 27 August 2026, gave:
Adults: autism 6 months; ADHD 2 weeks; ADHD medication 8–10 months.
Children: autism 9 months; ADHD 3 months; ADHD medication 8–10 months.
Source: clinical-partners.co.uk … wait-times-and-updates.
They themselves list ICB booking pauses (snapshot; they say referrals are often still accepted onto a list):
- Birmingham & Solihull — pause new bookings (16 July 2026)
- Greater Manchester — end of funded appointments this financial year (13 May 2026)
- Hampshire & Isle of Wight (3 June 2026)
- Kent & Medway (25 August 2026)
- Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (27 July 2026)
- Somerset (14 May 2026)
- North East and North Cumbria — estimated wait around 78 weeks / ~18 months from referral (20 August 2026) — snapshot
- South East London — adult ADHD must go via ICB triage from 3 November 2025; they will not accept direct GP RTC referrals there
Those are their operational notes, not a statement that the legal right has been repealed.

Sanity-check the contract claim
NHS England’s patient-choice guidance says the legal right, when it applies, is a choice of any clinically appropriate provider that already holds a qualifying NHS Standard Contract for the needed service with any ICB or NHS England. A qualifying contract is signed and in effect before the referral date, is for the required service, sets a location or access criteria (remote can count), and is not a one-person spot purchase. Prior commissioner approval is not required when the legal right applies. Referrers should consider ongoing care after assessment, including how the service interacts with local pathways and shared-care protocols.
Their pages are their claims. They are not our verification.
What you can do next
I’ll ask my GP to name this provider
Naming them is a preference. The GP still decides whether a referral, and this provider, are clinically appropriate. Check their ICB pause list on the day.
Ask this clinic to contact me
Disclosure: we may receive a fee if you ask this clinic to contact you. That is not an NHS fee. They still need a GP, dentist or optometrist referral for NHS-funded Right to Choose care. See how we make money.
