Neurodevelopmental pathway

Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB is aware that there are currently many challenges with neurodevelopmental assessment across the footprint and the country. We are working hard with our providers and partners at the local authorities to transform the way the service is delivered and ensure an improved experience for families.

This page will provide updates and information for families and professionals as our programme of work progresses.

For any queries, please contact lscicb.cypsend@nhs.net

Listed are providers who hold a commissioned contract with another ICB within England and have been approved by Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB to deliver ADHD and/or ASD services to those residents with a LSC ICB registered GP on a right to choose basis under an assumed contract.

Other providers may be applicable to deliver these services through qualifying contracts, and the ICB do not maintain a database of all providers hold an NHS standard contract for ADHD or ASD services nationally.

It is the responsibility of either the patient and referring clinician to identify providers who may be applicable to Patients Choice who have not yet provided a valid contract to LSC ICB. This list will continue to be updated once services have been approved by the ICB on the basis of qualifying contracts.

Please note that these providers do not hold a contract with Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB and referral to such providers is done so under the clinical responsibility of the referring practitioner.
