Answer

ANSWER

The ADHD needs assessment is ongoing, with work continuing to finalise proposals on workforce requirements, proposed referral pathways and estimated costs. It is anticipated that a report will be with my Department by end of November 2025.

Once the report is received, I and my officials will consider the findings, with a view to identifying next steps and arranging publication in due course.
