ADHD Ireland has been doing a lot of work on this. It has been talking about waiting list initiatives that have been brought in. Money is being paid out for private assessments for some ADHD kids to get their diagnosis earlier in order to reduce the numbers of ADHD kids on the waiting list for CAMHS. The issue is they are getting a diagnosis but cannot get the supports once they have the diagnosis because there is not the capacity within CAMHS. It is a very short-term solution and does not offer support beyond the diagnosis.
