For residents of Wolverhampton, navigating an ADHD diagnosis through the NHS can feel daunting, particularly given that NHS Black Country ICB oversees a local standard pathway where reported waits for an initial ADHD assessment have stretched to several years in many cases. Under the national Right to Choose framework, eligible patients registered with a GP in England retain the legal right to request a referral to an alternative NHS-commissioned provider, and NHS Black Country ICB has not publicly announced a formal blanket restriction on Right to Choose ADHD referrals, though some patients have reported that their GP practices have introduced informal triage conversations before agreeing to refer, so it is worth confirming your practice's current position in advance. The Right to Choose route, while still carrying its own wait, has generally offered considerably shorter timescales than the standard local pathway. Before your GP appointment, it is sensible to review the current NHS England Right to Choose guidance so you can discuss your entitlement confidently and accurately. Bringing objective evidence, such as a quantitative EEG brain screening report, to that appointment can meaningfully strengthen your case by providing measurable neurological context to support your referral conversation.
