We have raised Freedom of Information requests with all the NHS Boards in Scotland (14 in total) asking what services they provide/intend to provide for adults with ADHD. The returns are a resounding "very little" apart from Glasgow who have not even returned a response.
We are taking our findings to the Public Petitions Committee at the Scottish Parliament and will also be active in the Scottish Government consultation process for the new mental health strategy for the next three years. We believe that services for neurodevelopmental disorders are on the agenda as something that the Scottish Government wants to look at so we are well place to provide the evidence, provided they are willing to listen.
We have many case histories from members of the support group, but we could do with more. So if you live in Scotland and want to tell your story then please get in touch (info@addbal.co.uk). You don't have to write a report or anything just say you are interested in passing on your experiences of the NHS with regard to adult ADHD diagnosis and/or treatment and someone will get back in touch.
