Questions that lead here
Limitations and possible poor fit
- This is a Cardiff and Vale University Health Board pathway, not a Wales-wide referral rule.
- Waiting-time figures and service eligibility can change and require local rechecking.
- Private autism diagnoses are reviewed against the service's stated requirements; this does not establish acceptance by every Welsh NHS service.
Cost and access notes
- The NHS service is locally commissioned; access depends on current catchment and eligibility. The page describes separate private-report review but does not recommend private providers.
Ownership and conflicts
- Cardiff and Vale University Health Board describes a service it provides; ND Oracle records its current access route without generalising its performance or rules to Wales as a whole.
