Mental health is a transferred power to the Northen Ireland Executive, and therefore is the responsibility of the respective administration. The Independent review into mental health conditions, ADHD and autism, published on 9 October applies to England only. As a department of state, we work collaboratively with the devolved administrations to drive forward our objective of supporting people to lead more independent, healthier lives for longer.
