Joint Committee On Health

Services and Supports for People with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Discussion

Dr. Sean McDonnell:

Children in these areas suffer greater disadvantage more generally. As a consequence, the likelihood is they will experience a greater level of difficulty and will find it more difficult to access any level of supports. It is just a function of how our socioeconomic system works. Those who are living in more disadvantaged areas consequently will suffer greater levels of lack of care.
