Current status: Answered by Tom Arthur on 6 August 2025
To ask the Scottish Government how many people are currently on waiting lists for an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) assessment, broken down by (a) NHS board and (b) age group.
The Scottish Government does not hold this information centrally.
However, we acknowledge that work is needed to improve the quality of data on neurodevelopmental support and services, including a better understanding of current levels of need and the level of support people currently receive.
We are working with Health Boards and local authorities to improve our understanding of the available data, and how this could be used to support improvements for adults, children and families.
