Information is not held centrally on funding for the expansion of autism services in Wandsworth. South West London Integrated Care Board (ICB) has been allocated £107,000 in 2023/24 from the national £4.2 million service development funding for autism, to improve the local autism assessment pathway for children and young people and to continue the Autism in Schools Programme. In 2022/23 the ICB received £97,000 from the broader £2.5 million service development funding for autism, to improve the local autism assessment pathway.
These service development funding allocations are in addition to the funding that South West London ICB spends on autism services from its core funding allocations.
