The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the number of NHS prescribers for ADHD medication.

No specific assessment has been made. It is the responsibility of integrated care boards to make available appropriate provision to meet the health and care needs of their local population, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder services, in line with relevant National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines.
