Current status: Answered by Tom Arthur on 26 August 2025
To ask the Scottish Government whether there has been a review of the guidance released in April 2022 by the National Autism Implementation Team on prescribing ADHD medication to adults following private sector diagnosis, and, if this is not the case, when any such review may take place.
The NAIT guidance has not been reviewed since publication.
However, we have begun work to look at the issue of shared care agreements for adults with ADHD which would simplify the process for medication to be prescribed by GPs following a private diagnosis.
We will review NAITs’ guidance to reflect the outcome of this work.
