    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A “steep and relentless rise in demand” for ADHD and autism services in England has led to spiralling costs that are “running out of control,” according to the NHS Alliance. The alliance said that local health leaders were “keenly aware of the deep frustration felt” over long delays for assessment.
