Fund an NHS fast-track route for ADHD/autism diagnosis, care, and treatment

Fund an NHS fast-track route for ADHD/autism diagnosis, care, and treatment — 87 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

Fund a fast-track route in the NHS to end years-long waits for ADHD and autism care. Guarantee fast diagnosis, timely treatment, and fair NHS access so patients aren’t denied prescriptions after private diagnosis. Stop the postcode inequality and fix a system that is failing thousands.

Additional details

We believe people with ADHD and autism are being failed by a system that delays diagnosis for years, worsening mental health, education, and employment outcomes. Even after diagnosis, access to treatment is often slow or blocked, especially when GPs refuse shared care. This creates inequality and forces people to pay privately or go without help. Reform is needed to ensure timely, fair, and consistent care for all.
