HAS ANYBODY HAD THIER CHILD DX AT ELLIOT HOUSE?

[rainbow queen]

well the question is in the title?

i have asked my gp to refer my son there last year and she said she could not as my son was under local authority[who i may add seem to have no idea about as]

and also the drs wouldnt fund it

 

so im expected to carry on with this uselesswaiting game that never gets anywhere some how

[call me jaded]

I don't know how enshrined the right to a second opinion is these days.

 

How far have you got about your (lack of) diagnosis?

[mum22boys]

I contacted Elliot house several months ago regarding a referral. They were very good and answered all my queries but it still boiled down to funding. They will assess but only when referred by GP or CAMHS and then they had to wait until funding was in place. once in place a appointment was only weeks away. i mentioned this to CAMHS but nothing came of it so I too am on the long road with M for diagnosis. The wait here for the assessment is a year.
