Increasing Neurodevelopmental Assessments Demand
Demand for neurodevelopmental assessments continues to grow across the UK, placing increasing pressure on NHS services and leading to longer waits for children, young people and families. In March 2026, NHS England estimated that up to 803,658 people may have been waiting for an ADHD assessment and 270,701 people for an Autism Assessment.
