Fund an NHS fast-track route for ADHD & autism diagnoses and treatment
We urge the Government to fund a fast-track route in the NHS for ADHD and autism diagnoses and treatment, to ensure urgent access to care, regardless of whether diagnosed privately or publicly. We believe no one should face delays, gaps in medication, or be denied essential support.
Fund more reasonable adjustments in NHS primary care for autistic people
We want the Government to provide funding to strengthen and enforce more reasonable adjustments in NHS primary care. This could include flexible appointments, longer consultations, quieter options, remote consultations, and home visits where surgery attendance is not possible.
Reform the Mental Health Act to remove the detention of autistic people
The Government has promised to reform the Mental Health Act; we feel they have failed to do so. Meanwhile, autistic people have been forcibly detained and may spend years in unnecessary restraints, over medicated and isolated. We want the Government to release them into residential homes.
Fund compensation for late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD adults
We are calling on the Government to acknowledge and compensate late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD people failed by education, healthcare, and social care systems throughout childhood and adolescence.
Increase funding for MND research
Many people are being diagnosed with MND. More Government funding for research is needed.
