We are reviewing adult ADHD services across Greater Manchester.
Services supporting adults through diagnosis for ADHD have long waiting lists, approximately 15,000 people. This means that an adult who is referred now could wait over 7 years for a diagnosis. Since 2019 the number of referrals into adult ADHD services have increased 500%, this means on average these services receive 1,500 referrals a month.
Across Greater Manchester we do not have one single waiting list for ADHD services.
The cost of running ADHD services is another reason why we need to review the current model. To see and complete a diagnosis pathway for each of the patients currently waiting would cost us an extra £8 million this would only tackle the waiting list. Adult ADHD services currently cost £12 million pound per year.
