Your local ADHD assessment options in Southampton
In Southampton, adults seeking an ADHD assessment face the same two constrained NHS routes as the rest of England. The standard pathway commonly involves waits of two to six years. NHS Right to Choose can be quicker, but during 2025-2026 Integrated Care Boards introduced funding limits on Right to Choose providers, and in a number of areas new assessments were capped or paused, with patients directed back to local waiting lists. For people across Hampshire, a private assessment is the route with a timeline attached to it.
