ADHD: Students

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure continuity of ADHD care for people on the right to choose waiting list in England when they move to Scotland to take up a place at University.

Answered by Dr Zubir Ahmed

Healthcare is a devolved matter and the Right to Choose applies only to National Health Services commissioned in England. When a person moves from England to Scotland, their healthcare, including access to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder assessment and treatment, becomes the responsibility of NHS Scotland, which operates under its own clinical pathways, eligibility criteria, and commissioning arrangements.
