Plan to Limit NHS Diagnoses of ADHD Attacked as 'Rationing' Healthcare A proposed overhaul of National Health Service (NHS) diagnoses for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has sparked heated debate, with critics accusing the government of "rationing" healthcare and pushing vulnerable individuals to self diagnose online.
The plan aims to streamline resources by targeting those most severely affected while offering support without a formal diagnosis to those deemed less severe.
Proponents of this shift argue that it is necessary to prioritize those who need care the most, but critics warn that downplaying the significance of a formal diagnosis may exacerbate stigma surrounding ADHD.
