Question
What are the current waiting times for a dyspraxia diagnosis in the Welsh NHS?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Social Services
We do not hold data on waiting times for a dyspraxia diagnosis. Local Health Boards may be able to provide this information on a regional basis.
Local Health Boards are responsible for dyspraxia services which sit under the Developmental Co-ordination Disorder (DCD) umbrella. The pathway for diagnosis, generally, is a visit to the GP who will provide a referral onto an occupational therapist or a physiotherapist.
