Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Hold a Public Inquiry into the shortage of ADHD medication

We want the Government to hold a Public Inquiry into the shortage of ADHD medication, to find out how this shortage has come about, what is being done about the shortage and what further action can be taken.

More details

We believe the regulator and manufacturers are not doing enough to tackle this shortage and ensure ADHD medication is available to patients.

The US has approved generic ADHD medications due to ongoing shortages: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/news-events-human-drugs/fda-approves-multiple-generics-adhd-and-bed-treatment

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
