Motion TitleDiagnosis and Treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Motion TextThat this Assembly recognises the severe difficulties faced by people seeking diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and their families, given the ongoing delays and lengthening waiting times; further recognises the urgent need to ensure that treatment and services are accessible to people of all ages with ADHD across Northern Ireland; notes the significant and growing need for information and support in households, schools and workplaces to ensure that people with ADHD can fulfil their full potential; and calls on the Minister of Health to take urgent action to ensure that Health and Social Care Trusts are properly commissioned to diagnose and treat patients, to ensure that GPs can enter shared care arrangements, and to ensure that adequate pathways, reflective of individual need, are in place for those diagnosed.
