Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department has taken to increase the uptake by services throughout England of the NICE guidance on Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: diagnosis and management, NG87, last updated on 13 September 2019.

During 2019 the Department worked with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and their Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Implementation Working Group to look at how the current NICE guidance and quality standard on ADHD were being implemented and to identify and disseminate examples of best practice in respect of care and support for people with ADHD. The Department is considering the working group’s findings in discussion with NICE and other key partners.
