Dr. Amir Niazi:

To continue from what Dr. Burke said, we developed an adult ADHD clinic and programme. It is almost 60% developed, and we will be developing the rest of it. We then felt there was a gap in transition, which we learned about from the Maskey report and this one. Last week, we appointed a lead to work on the national model of care for CAMHS ADHD and also on the transition element. Once we have a model of care for children and a transition into adult ADHD services, I think we will streamline the whole process and this will address the gaps which exist now. The professor who took on the job is going to work with me over the next six to 12 months to complete the work in this model of care. This will have two parts. The first is to standardise the treatment for children with ADHD and the second is to have a clear plan of transition from children to adult services. We know almost 50% of children attending our CAMHS teams who are on medication have a diagnosis of ADHD. It is a major aspect to address.
