Rejected petition Stop ICB Funding Caps on Right to Choose access for ADHD & Autism Assessment

We ask the Government to stop Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) from imposing funding caps on Right to Choose providers. These limits will drastically reduce patients access to ADHD and Autism assessments.
These are life saving assessments.

More details

Funding caps mean providers will have to cut services once limits are reached, leading to years-long waits and fewer assessment options. Which is already happening within the NHS. Right to Choose was created to ensure fair, timely access to care. These restrictions risk worsening inequalities and delaying vital diagnoses and support.
These changes will not only lead to so many continuing to suffer, desperate for help and treatment, but also those taking their lives.
