Thousands of disabled children are waiting longer for vital services, with some being left for more than two years before they are diagnosed, a survey suggests.

One child affected by a delay in diagnosis was Ruby. It took more than a year to be diagnosed with hypermobility, a joint condition which left her in constant pain.
