Hi there,

 

I’ve been given this email for Freedom of Information for your PCT. Please could I get an FOI from your PCT for the following:

 

1. How many adults you have with a diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorder (any, although if there are separate statistics for Asperger’s, HFA, LFA, they would be appreciated) in your area;

1547 adults in Rotherham have a diagnosis of  ASD

 

2. How many children;   we have   1122     0 to 16 year olds with a diagnosis of ASD in the Borough.

3. What diagnostic services are available to a) adults and b) children;

 

  • Adults Asperger’s service is commissioned with the Sheffield Health and Social Care FT
  • b) RDaSH CAMHS + RFT Child Development Centre (CDC).

5. An email address/website for each of these agencies or teams where possible.
