Your local ADHD assessment options in Cardiff
In Cardiff, the route to an ADHD assessment runs through NHS Wales, and NHS Right to Choose does not apply — it is an England mechanism, so there is no equivalent way to select a private provider at NHS expense. Waits for adult assessment in Wales are long, and referral routes vary by health board. For people in Cardiff and across South Wales, a private assessment is the route that comes with a confirmed timeline rather than an open-ended wait.

Who decides NHS funding in Cardiff
NHS ADHD assessment for Cardiff is commissioned by Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. Right to Choose is a rule of the English NHS and does not apply in Wales, so the private route here is self-funded rather than NHS-funded — a difference most national guidance glosses over.
