1.Has Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board agreed an implementation date for the proposed neurodevelopmental triage model described in its consultation response?
2. If so, please provide
a) the implementation date for adult ADHD referrals;
b) the implementation date for adult autism referrals;
c) the implementation date for children’s ADHD referrals; and
d) the implementation date for children’s autism referrals.
3. If implementation dates have not yet been agreed for any of the above services, please confirm this.
1. NHS Greater Manchester has agreed implementation dates for the children and young people’s (CYP) ADHD and autism triage pathways. The implementation date for the Adult ADHD triage hub remains subject to procurement timescales but is currently anticipated to be operational by December 2026.
2.
a) The Adult ADHD triage hub is currently anticipated to be operational by December 2026, subject to completion of the procurement process.
b) No triage process is currently being developed for Adult Autism.
c) The implementation date is 30 September 2026.
d) The implementation date is 30 September 2026.
3. As noted above, implementation of the Adult ADHD triage hub remains subject to the completion of procurement and associated mobilisation, and therefore the anticipated implementation date of December 2026 has not yet been formally confirmed. No decision has been taken at this point to develop a triage hub for Adult Autism, and therefore no implementation date has been agreed.
