The phased implementation of the National Mental Health Clinical Programme for Adults with ADHD is a key priority and recommendation in Sharing the Vision, our national mental health policy. As of the last published implementation report at end Q1 2023:
• Adult ADHD Service site visits have commenced; visits to Limerick and Cork have taken place.
• Funding to continue the rollout of Understanding and Managing Adult ADHD Programme for 2023 has been allocated. Two Workshops have taken place to date.
• The Adult ADHD App has been downloaded approximately 8,000 times. This will continue to be monitored.
• The Adult ADHD NCP National Oversight and Implementation Group continues to meet bi-monthly.
In addition, in relation to ADHD and CAMHS, a National Clinical Lead for ADHD in Children and Adolescents has been appointed and is commencing work to develop an ADHD Model of Care for CAMHS.
The Q2 reporting phase for Sharing the Vision is currently in progress and therefore a more substantive update will be published soon.
To the extent that this question refers to services, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
