Reinstate ADHD shared care plans to ensure access to essential medication.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government to reverse the decision to stop ADHD-shared care plans and prevent GPs from removing patients from them. Ensure shared care plans are reinstated with clear guidelines to protect access to essential medication for those with ADHD, safeguarding their health and rights.

The ADHD community believes the decision to stop shared care plans violates their human rights, as it denies access to essential medication for a recognized disability. This change is discriminatory, harmful, and undermines individuals' ability to function. We urge the government to reinstate shared care plans, provide clear guidance for GPs, and ensure ongoing access to vital treatment. Removing this support not only impacts health but also disregards the rights and needs of those with ADHD, leaving them vulnerable and unsupported.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We understand that you are concerned about access to medication for ADHD, but the specific points you have raised are the responsibility of relevant healthcare professionals.
