What does "at the current pace" mean?
We divide the number of people waiting by the number of assessments the service did in the last year. It shows how long someone joining the list today could wait if nothing changes. It is an estimate, not a promise: services can speed up, and some people are seen sooner because of urgency. The NHS standard for non-urgent care is 18 weeks.

Right to Choose: other NHS-funded providers
In England you can ask your GP to refer you to a different NHS-funded provider, often with a shorter wait. These are the waits providers have told us for NHS South Yorkshire ICB, shortest first. How Right to Choose works
| Provider | Wait for assessment | Wait for medication (titration) | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Atrom Mindcare Atrom Mindcare is a CQC-registered, psychiatrist-led mental health and neurodevelopmental assessment and treatment provider. We have no internal waiting list so most people book within days of sending back their forms, and every assessment is with a Consultant Psychiatrist. A few NHS areas limit referrals, so be sure to check yours on the ADHD UK website as well as at www.atrommindcare.com/nhs-right-to-choose-eligibility. National figure - not specific to this area | No wait listed | No wait | Provider page |

| Innovate ADHD We accept referrals from any GP in England and hold no routine waiting list, however there may be more local restrictions, which can be found on our website. Once your referral is accepted and uploaded, you will be sent a short triage form. In most cases you will then receive your pre-assessment forms straight away, and once these are returned you can book your appointment.
Where triage flags a complexity, or a prior diagnosis needs clinical review, your referral goes to a member of our clinical team first, this can add on a week or two, depending on volume.
A small number of NHS commissioners have placed local restrictions or longer waits on non-urgent referrals - the current list is on our website. National figure - not specific to this area | No wait listed | 12 weeks | Provider page |
