The Scottish Government discussed with National Museums of Scotland the effect of the Public and Commercial Services Union industrial action on 1 February 2023. NMS opened the 1st floor of the National Museum of Scotland – which includes Animal World, Kingdom of Scots, Discoveries and Imagine galleries. The National War Museum was closed. The National Museum of Rural Life was open as usual. The National Museum of Flight is currently closed during the week during winter and so was unaffected by the industrial action.

We aim to bring Part 2 of the 2021 Act into force by early 2024, subject to the necessary rules and forms of court also being in place.

Scoping work on the Bill took place between May and July 2022. As part of this, the Scottish Government ran a series of events to consider how people with lived experience view the Bill and to discuss potential key elements. We carried out 30 events with 18 different organisations.

Adults with undiagnosed ADHD, many of whom were in the process of undergoing the assessment process to confirm their diagnoses, contributed during several of these events.

We are in the process of establishing 3 panels to assist us in developing proposals for a public consultation in the second half of 2023. We are seeking people with lived experience of many conditions including ADHD for our lived experience panel.

The consultation will provide an opportunity for people across Scotland, including those with diagnosed and undiagnosed ADHD, to express their views on policy options that could be included in the draft Bill, as well as on whether the Bill should establish a Learning Disability, Autism and Neurodiversity Commissioner.
