NHS Plan to Limit ADHD Patient Diagnoses Criticized as Healthcare Rationing

A new proposal to limit the number of patients diagnosed with ADHD on the National Health Service has sparked sharp criticism, with opponents condemning the move as a form of healthcare rationing. Critics argue that restricting diagnoses will prevent vulnerable individuals from accessing necessary medical support and treatment. Mental health advocates and patient groups have voiced strong opposition to the plan, urging authorities to protect access to care instead of implementing caps. The controversy highlights ongoing challenges within the healthcare system regarding how to manage rising demand for neurodivergence services without compromising patient welfare.
