It seems very unfair. I am shocked at the cost of an assessment.

I wish to touch on ADHD in particular. The report of the Mental Health Commission pointed to ADHD as the most frequent reason for children being referred to CAMHS. One often hears of children with ADHD being on waiting lists for lengthy periods as more urgent cases get seen first. What are the experiences of the members of the witnesses' organisation in that area?
