On 27th September 2023, the Department of Health and Social Care issued a Patient Safety Alert regarding the shortage of specific ADHD medications.
It has been reported in the press that the disruptions are expected to continue, and so we have written to the Ministers outlining our concerns, and what steps the government is taking to address the shortage of medication, and the increased levels of support that is needed for children and young people in education.
You are welcome to share this letter with your families and to support conversations within your local area.
