Require GPs to accept ADHD shared care agreements.

What the petition asks
Require NHS GPs to accept private ADHD diagnoses and shared care agreements, and prescribe medication.
In the UK, GPs don’t have to accept shared care agreements. This means someone with a private ADHD diagnosis may be receiving prescriptions from their GP, but if they relocate to a different city and move GP, then their new one might not accept the agreement and the patient will lose access to life changing medication.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about patient care are a matter for individual clinicians, not the UK Government or Parliament.
