Question 1

What is NHS Right to Choose for ADHD?

Accepted Answer

NHS Right to Choose is a policy in England that allows patients to ask their GP to refer them to any CQC-registered provider for an ADHD assessment at no cost to the patient. The NHS funds the assessment in full. It is not available in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland, where patients must be assessed through their devolved health board.

Question 2

How much does a private ADHD assessment cost in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Private ADHD assessments in the UK typically cost between £450 and £1,400 for the initial assessment, depending on the provider, age group, and whether the clinic is online or in-person. Medication titration and follow-up appointments are often charged separately.

Question 3

How much does a private autism assessment cost in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Private autism assessments in the UK typically cost between £1,200 and £2,500, depending on the provider and whether a child or adult is being assessed. Combined AuDHD assessments (covering both ADHD and autism) are also available and can be more cost-effective than booking separately.

Question 4

How long does it take to get an ADHD assessment in the UK?

Accepted Answer

NHS waiting times can exceed several years in some areas. Via NHS Right to Choose, waits are typically 12–24 weeks. Private ADHD assessments can usually be booked within 2–6 weeks.

Question 5

Can my child get an ADHD or autism assessment through NHS Right to Choose?

Accepted Answer

NHS Right to Choose in England covers children under 18 as well as adults, though not all providers accept under-18s. Seen Sooner filters providers by age group so you only see suitable options for your child.

Question 6

Yes — Seen Sooner is completely free. We never charge for the matching service. Providers may charge for assessments, which we display upfront so you can compare costs before deciding.
