We are a specialist provider for young people and adults with autism and other complex needs and request information under the Freedom of Information Act.

Please could you confirm your budget timeline, showing the dates of when budgets are typically agreed, by whom and at what point providers of learning disability services are notified of your decisions. We require this information for both children & adult services within NHS Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group.
