Rejected petition: Make ADHD Medication Accessible on the NHS Without Discrimination
Rejected on
Require all NHS Integrated Care Boards to offer Shared Care agreements for clinically stable ADHD patients, including those diagnosed privately, so they can access essential medication without discrimination.
Shared Care for ADHD varies across NHS regions, leaving many patients without access to medication if they were diagnosed privately. This inconsistency is harmful and discriminatory. The Government should create a national standard requiring all ICBs to accept Shared Care for clinically stable ADHD patients.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Decisions to enter shared care agreements are a decision for individual NHS trusts, NHS consultants and GPs, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
