NHS ADHD Assessment Wait Times: Northamptonshire
Part of the East Midlands region. As of Jun 2026.
Current estimated wait
~17 monthsNew referrals in May 2026 were quoted an expected first appointment around October 2027 (~17 months). A separate calculation in the same FOI response (1,104 waiting divided by 1,479 assessed in 2025/26) implies a much shorter figure, but this likely reflects a recent surge in throughput clearing an existing backlog rather than a steady-state wait — we have used the patient-facing quoted figure as more representative.
