Item 5 - Order Paper 149/22-27 – Monday 9 February 2026

Motion: Commissioned Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Services Proposed:

That this Assembly recognises the need for commissioned services dedicated to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); further recognises the need for a regional diagnosis service and specific ADHD mental health services to cater for those with both ADHD and mental illnesses; notes that many people have had to seek ADHD assessments and diagnosis privately at their own expense; further notes that many parents have been unable to access ADHD assessments for their children; calls on the Minister of Health to engage with Health and Social Care Trusts on potential options for a regional ADHD service that encapsulates diagnosis, treatment and mental health support; and further calls for improved awareness of ADHD within government agencies, schools and workplaces.
