The NHS in North Yorkshire is inviting feedback on the current children and young people's autism assessment service.

Parent, carers, children and young people who have used the service in the last three years are being called upon to attend virtual focus groups to share their experiences.

Suzanne Bennett, Head of Children and Young Peoples Services for NHS North Yorkshire CCG, said: "As we are reviewing existing delivery models across North Yorkshire, these focus groups are a great opportunity to gather meaningful and informed feedback from service user's, family, parents and carers to help shape the future autism assessment services."

The focus groups will take place via Zoom across April on the following dates:

• Wednesday 27th April 2022 - 2pm - 4pm

• Thursday 28th April 2022 - 6pm - 8pm

• Saturday 30th April 2022 - 10am - 12pm

These sessions will look at what is working well and what not so well, update you on what is happening in North Yorkshire and have the opportunity to ask questions and share experiences.
