For patients considering privately funding an ADHD assessment
When patients choose to seek privately funded healthcare, a number of fundamental principles apply. Please read the following guidance before paying for an ADHD assessment outside the NHS. If you have any questions or concerns, please speak with your GP.
It is important that patients are fully aware of the longer-term implications of privately funding elements of their healthcare, including what to expect once they have paid for and received an assessment and/or diagnosis. This includes an understanding of the limitations of cover provided by any private medical insurance and how ongoing supplies of medication should be obtained.
Your GP has the right to refuse to prescribe ADHD medication on the NHS if you paid for a private assessment and diagnosis.
A privately funded diagnosis cannot be used to advance your position on this waiting list, nor can it be used to bypass the assessment stage and progress straight to treatment.
The NHS clinician will determine the most clinically appropriate treatment for you, taking into account local and national guidelines, as they take personal clinical responsibility for your treatment.
The clinician who signs the prescription is legally liable for the prescribing and the consequent effects of that drug.
