For residents of Solihull seeking an ADHD assessment, the commissioning body responsible for local NHS services is NHS Birmingham and Solihull ICB, which oversees how both standard and patient-choice pathways are funded and managed in this area. As with many ICBs across England, NHS Birmingham and Solihull ICB has faced significant pressure on ADHD services, and there are reports that some additional administrative steps or eligibility checks may be applied before Right to Choose referrals are processed, though individual GP practices can vary in how consistently they facilitate these requests. The standard NHS ADHD assessment pathway in Birmingham and Solihull typically involves waits that can extend to several years, whereas the Right to Choose pathway, exercised under the NHS Constitution, has historically offered considerably shorter waiting times through alternative commissioned providers, though access continues to evolve. Before your GP appointment, it is worth confirming in writing that your practice is prepared to issue a formal Right to Choose referral rather than simply adding you to the local waiting list. Bringing objective, clinician-reported data from a qEEG brain screening to your appointment can provide measurable neurological context that meaningfully supports your case for prompt referral.
