Answer

The ADHD needs assessment is not yet complete. The initial estimated completion date was end June 2025 and considerable work has already been progressed. However, due to a desire and demand for further stakeholder engagement, information gathering and analysis which will ensure a robust evidence base and proposals, it is likely that the work will now be completed by September 2025.

A decision on publication of the needs assessment will be taken once the final report has been received and considered by the Department.
