Hold a Public Inquiry into pre and post diagnosis ADHD support.

Petition Details

The UK Government has recognised the need to improve NHS care for neurodivergent people, with some waiting for 7 years for assessments.

Additional Information

Despite NICE Guidelines recommending holistic and shared treatment plans for each individual, medication is often the only option provided.

People with ADHD are 5 times more likely to attempt to take their own life.

1 in 4 women with ADHD has attempted to take their own life.

ADHD has only been recognised by NICE since 2008.

Years long lists are leaving people extremely vulnerable to exploitation.

The BBC Panorama episode of 15 May 2023 sensationalised the desperation of people with ADHD into a 29 minute ‘exposé’.

This has left people questioning their diagnosis with no follow up support. The Government must take action.
