Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Our children . Its about time funding was poured into this. Children's health professionals are as shocked and helpless as parents. They're also powerless and every child health professional that I've spoken to says the same thing. Its down to funding. It's disgraceful
Our nhs has deteriorated so much thay people are turning to private companies. But for those on low or limited incomes it's not a choice to go private. Our health professionals that work with children are as frustrated as parents at the waiting times it takes for a child to have an adhd or autism assessment. Like us they're shocked and cannot so anything about it. It comes down to one thing only. funding! Please fund our children's future for assessments
