There are approximately 5000 autistic people living in Tees Valley and a further 1400 people awaiting an autism assessment. NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (NENC ICB) wanted to commission two new services to support people waiting for an autism assessment, and autistic people, post–diagnosis.
Ahead of going out to tender for the services they were keen to understand what people would want from a service. We conducted a survey and held focus groups. Find out what they told us here.
