Fair NHS Care for Adults with ADHD in Scotland

Background

We call on the Government to: Ensure funded ADHD medication titration and follow-up care are available on the NHS. Expand adult ADHD services to reduce waiting times for diagnosis and treatment. Guarantee equal access across Scotland so that care is not dependent on postcode.

Additional details

Adults with ADHD are being failed by the NHS. Waiting times for diagnosis are often several years, and many patients are then denied access to treatment. In some areas, adults are forced to pay privately for medication titration and follow-up, creating inequality in access to care.
