Health

Petitioner: Richard Jones on behalf of Addressing the Balance

Status:
Closed

Date Lodged: 15 September 2011

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to develop and instigate a strategy and policy for diagnosis and treatment for adult ADHD. For the estimated 60,000 adults with undiagnosed and untreated ADHD in Scotland, the adverse impact on their lives as a result of the condition and the huge and unnecessary costs to society is untenable.
