answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2019 answer text <p>No one should have to face long waits for an autism assessment.

We will use data on autism diagnosis waiting times, available for the first time later this year, to hold local areas to account and act where waiting times exceed the NICE standard.</p><p>Whilst a diagnosis of autism should happen as soon as possible, it is important to recognise that a diagnosis is often complex and can involve different professionals and agencies. We are following the prevailing clinical guidance set out by NICE.</p><p>NHS England and NHS Improvement encourage local areas to follow existing NICE guidelines and quality standards when commissioning and delivering diagnosis services for both children and adults.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage grouped question UIN 276606 276607 question first answered 17/07/2019 15:23:52 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
