Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he has taken to support people with ADHD during the covid-19 outbreak.

NHS England and NHS Improvement wrote to healthcare leaders on 31 July 2020 setting out the actions required for phase three of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes re-stating targets for clinical commissioning groups to increase investment in services, including those for neurodivergent people such as people who have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It also asks systems to maintain the growth in the number of children and young people accessing care, ensure all services are restored and advertised, and proactively review all patients in community health services, including asking general practitioners to ensure these patients are identified on their registers.
