Service users can access the PAON from their own home, without the need to travel to a clinic. A range of communications technologies, including telephone and audiovisual technologies such as Skype or FaceTime, are used to provide the assessment. The choice of communication with the Referral and Assessment Service is based on the service user’s preference.
The table below provides the number and percentages of adult PAONs completed and the outcome of each PAON in 2018. These results identify the immediate outcome of the PAON.
