Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to NHS England's News release, NHS taskforce to drive improvements in young people’s hospital mental health, learning disability and autism care, published on 10 October 2019, what assessment his Department has made of the effect of the proposals in that announcement on people with ADHD.

The main focus of the Quality Task Force will be on driving improvements in in-patient care for children and young people with both mental health and the range of neuro-developmental disorders, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This recognises that some of the children and young people who require an in-patient admission may have ADHD.
