1. Information not held. 

Moray mental health services have never offered an ADHD or autism assessment service.

Moray mental health services do see and treat people, if clinically appropriate, with ADHD/comorbid mental illness through out-patient clinics - via GP referral.

People can self-refer to the Grampian Adult Autism Assessment team - this is managed by NHS Grampian.
