Neurodevelopmental assessment
Kingston Council is addressing ongoing concerns about waiting lists for children's mental health services, including neurodevelopmental assessments.
In October 2026, Kingston Council's Health Overview and Scrutiny Panel heard that concerns remain regarding waiting lists for children and young people's mental health services. While progress has been made in tackling the backlog of referrals, significant challenges persist in the borough.
An independent review of these services, which include neurodevelopmental assessments for conditions like autism and ADHD, ran from December 2023 to March 2024. This review identified five key recommendations, including implementing a new core delivery model and a shared place-based vision.
