Leeds GP Confederation: August Newsletter
Following the decision in October 2024 to pause new referrals to the LYPFT ADHD service, the Leeds GP Confederation was commissioned to establish and implement the Neurodevelopment Support Service in partnership with the LYPFT and ICB.
At the start of the service, there were 4,606 patients on the Adult ADHD Assessment waiting list. During the period of the service a total of 1,477 patients were contacted by our team.
A total of 319 patients executed their ‘right to choose’, with 75 choosing to remain on the waiting list and 234 being identified as now living outside of the Leeds area.
During the period of operation there were zero complaints about the service and no incidents reported via DATIX. A total of 415 patients responded to a survey where they were asked to rate the service out of 5.
A total of 413 patients who responded to the survey rated the service as 5 out of 5 with many positive comments and feedback shared.
The Confed would like to formally thank The Street Lane Practice team for their contribution in delivering the service. The Service Support Officer role was fundamental in the service success.
On July 15th, the national GP Survey results were released, we have compared these with our patient experience scores across Enhanced Access, Healthy Minds, Community Dermatology and NHS Health Checks and are pleased to have outperformed national scores.
