In Wigan, adult and children's ADHD assessments are commissioned through NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care and delivered primarily by Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (GMMH), which covers much of the region including Wigan borough. As across most of England, waiting times for both adult and CAMHS pathways are substantial — multi-year waits are common, and many families and adults report significant delays even obtaining a formal GP referral, partly due to inconsistent awareness among local primary care practitioners about current referral criteria. Wigan residents do have the right to exercise the NHS Right to Choose option, directing their referral to an alternative approved provider, though uptake locally has been uneven and some GPs remain unfamiliar with the process, meaning patients sometimes need to advocate firmly for themselves. For those navigating this lengthy wait, a qEEG brain-mapping assessment can provide objective, clinically grounded evidence of attention-related neurological patterns, offering something tangible to share with healthcare professionals while statutory provision catches up.
