Adult ADHD Services 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.
What we are thinking
One of the ideas we are considering is introducing referral criteria for adult ADHD services. This is just an idea that is being explored right now. Referral criteria are commonly used across NHS services to help make sure that the people who need services the most get them. Referral criteria may include things like the impact the symptoms are having on their life, and whether they have other conditions that are being affected.
