LA agreed to assess. We have our private professionals at the ready. We have concerns about who the LA have requested their evidence from. The LA medical officer is the same paed who has already given our 13 yr old a lengthy dismissive ASD Assessment recently, citing 'traits' and yet stating these weren't enough to explain my child's year long difficulty in attending school. When this paed turned out to be our LA’s medical officer who sits on panels against parents and indeed initially sat on the panel that refused to assess, I thought ‘how can this NHS paed's assessments be independent and honest when they also work for the LA?’ Now a few months later and this paed's supposed to examine my child again for LA / EHCP? Only no doubt to sit on panel again to refuse to issue, right? Please tell me I have some chance to query this? This paed has got FII insinuation in every breath. Thank god we already have previous robust NHS 'significant DCD' diagnosis! But what do I do about this awful all powerful paed?
