It is the responsibility of integrated care boards (ICBs) to make available appropriate provision to meet the health and care needs of their local population, and we are clear that assessments for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) should happen as soon as possible and in line with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines, ‘Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: diagnosis and management’. Information on the number of people referred to Psychiatry-UK LLP or ADHD 360 over the last three years is not held centrally.

The following table shows the total value, in £ millions, of invoices received by Clinical Commissioning Groups and ICBs from Psychiatry-UK LLP and ADHD 360 across the last three financial years.
