Users of North Yorkshire's current children and young people's autism assessment service are being asked to give feedback.

The county's Clinical Commissioning Group is looking for people to share their experiences to help shape the future.

It is holding the first of three online focus groups tomorrow afternoon. 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.

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 27 April 2022 - 2pm - 4pm

• Thursday 28 April 2022 - 6pm - 8pm

• Saturday 30 April 2022 - 10am - 12pm
