Freddie van Mierlo

Liberal Democrat — Henley and Thame

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 June 2025

Debate

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Contribution

I beg to move, That this House has considered support for people with ADHD. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Jardine, and I thank the Minister for being here for the debate. Allow me to take Members through what ADHD diagnosis and treatment looks like in Oxfordshire. Say a 14 or 15-year-old boy is exhibiting symptoms of ADHD. They find themselves easily distracted at school. Their high energy levels are coming through in all the wrong ways; they talk noisily through class and find it hard to sit still.
