In line with this, the National Institute for Health and Care Research has commissioned a research project to provide initial insights into local ADHD assessment waiting times data collection, and NHS England is currently scoping a national programme of work on ADHD, to understand more about the issues relating to ADHD service provision across the country.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 03/04/2024 15:12:22 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2023 answer text <p>No assessment has been made. There is, at present, no single, established dataset that can be used to monitor the number of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnoses nationally.</p><p>Data from the Mental Health of Children and Young People in England, 2017 reported that about one in sixty (1.6%) of five- to 19-year-olds were identified as having a hyperactivity disorder. This was an estimate based on a sample. If all children in the population had participated, it is likely that the proportion identified with a hyperactivity disorder would have been between 1.4% and 1.9%.</p><p>In a recent Westminster Hall debate, 1 February 2023, I committed to look at how we can improve data on ADHD assessment waiting times, to help improve access to ADHD assessments in a timely way and in line with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guideline.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 17/03/2023 13:58:54 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
