i am going to my g.p after school suggested ds2 might have a problem, such as aspergers.

dh has private healthcare with work, would this be better or nhs.
ds2 no longer at said school due to bullying amongst other things.

If he is covered it will be quicker but often such things are excluded.

It is likely it will be more convenient, and the surroundings will be better. I'd be surprised if there was a difference in care, unless there are relevant procedures that NICE has excluded or your local trust won't fund.

We have always had better care when we have taken our DS privately. They spend more time with you and are less rushed.
