Acknowledgements, Clarifications and Chasing
Processing acknowledgements and clarification questions. Chasing those who haven't acknowledged and as time goes on chasing those that haven't responded.
Collating Responses
Collating and gathering the responses. Data inserted to show in the NHS Area pages. Data is updated immediately to our NHS Area pages to give people the most up-to-date information available.
Publishing Report of Findings
We will publish a collated report of the findings to provide needed evidence of the waits and barriers that are being put on people with ADHD.
Futher Investigation
The answers we will get - in particular around the ADHD Assessment pathway and the restrictions in place - will guide us to ask additional, much more specific questions. Those will allow us to understand the local NHS decision-making and the legality of those decisions. Our aim is to use that information, alongside other information we have, to challenge those local NHS decisions to restrict NHS care for needed ADHD Assessments.
Please Donate! We can’t do anything without your support. The stigma around ADHD means fundraising for ADHD is much more difficult. We do a lot with a little. We are a much smaller charity than most people realise. Please support our work. Please consider donating today. Click here to donate.
