My GP referred me for both ASD and ADHD, at the end of May, via the Kingston & Richmond Assessment Team. My referral for ASD was sent over to Your Health and my ADHD referral was sent to St George's Mental Health.
The St George's Mental Health team somehow got ASD and ADHD confused and discharged in mid June me shortly after my initial referral because I was supposed being treated by Your Health for ADHD which was false. My GP had to resend my ADHD referral, at the start of July, with an additional document to clear up that I am being referred to different services for different conditions.
We are now in October and the St George's Mental Health team have not done anything. Upon contacting them they claim that my GP has failed to complete certain documents that they claim to have sent over electronically... however my GP never received any documents to complete at any point during this process. I request more information as to what documents had been sent over, so I am able to chase up with my GP, but I was refused. I was not even told how many documents my GP was meant to have and complete. I requested that they resend the documents which they claimed would be done in October at yet my GP did not receive anything yet again.
Your Health, the service used for my ASD assessment, managed to correctly use the electronic system to rely documents with my GP so I can only assume that St George's Mental Health team is struggling with their admin processes.
The waiting list to get assessed for ASD or ADHD are in excess of a year so to have my referral stuck in limbo due to the maladministration of the St George's Mental Health team is completely unacceptable.
"Discharged erroneously and a general lack of competent administration"
