The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to tackle ADHD medication shortages.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Department has worked intensively with industry and some supply issues with ADHD medicines have been resolved. We continue to engage with suppliers and also the NHS to resolve the remaining issues as quickly as possible, and improve the planning of future demand. I understand concerns in this area and would be happy to give my time to MPs, to sit down with the experts, to explain this further.
