Rejected petition Require GPs to accept ADHD shared care agreements.

Require NHS GPs to accept private ADHD diagnoses and shared care agreements, and prescribe medication.

More details

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.
