'The current system is broken,' said parent Victoria, who has three children who have either been diagnosed or are waiting.
Victoria Rathbone is becoming increasingly frustrated and upset as she waits for her young son William, who is four, to be put on the pathway that will get him the help she says he needs.
Victoria added: "I think we need a new system. The current system is broken. I think we need early intervention. I think we need intervention whilst on the waiting list for an assessment. I think we need more professionals involved in that intervention and I think we ideally should be looking at a diagnosis within the very most 18 months and I think particularly support for the parents who are going through this, particularly first time parents.
He said: "We in the health board here in North Wales are experiencing a massive increase in demand, the same as many other health care organisations across the UK and indeed across Europe. Three or four years ago we would see perhaps 200 new referrals every month. Now we're seeing 400, a doubling of the demand in the space of only a few years.
"And at times handing patients back, you know, sharing the load in the care with colleagues in primary and community services. He explained: "Of course if we are offered more money, we could say, thank you very much, but I don't think this is actually a matter of money. This is a matter of finding the right skilled staff who when this challenge is nationwide, it's really difficult to recruit. It's encouraging people to work differently and that takes time. And it's also working to ensure that the expectations of people are fulfilled.
Parents like Victoria have been left frustrated at the increase in waiting times for a diagnosis since the pandemic.say they are committed to tackling long waiting times and increased demand for neurodivergence services.
