Rejected petition Public Enquiry to investigate ADHD medication shortage
Rejected on
We would like the Goverment to hold a public inquiry into why the ADHD medication is at its all time low meaning families & individuals in and around the UK are struggling to source their prescribed medication. Children are loosing out on education due to lack of medication & compassion
The ADHD medication shortage has been a rising problem and nobody seems to know as to why the manufacturers are struggling to source the ingredients. Individuals are at a loss as to why this is happening with empty promises not being fulfilled leaving them with no alternatives than to travel miles to attempt to find the medication, stop and start a controlled drug which is not medically advised, go without medication suddenly all whilst going through a medication withdrawal.
