Healthwatch Essex Launches ADHD Report

Our Latest Report: The Impact of Ending Shared Care for ADHD
When GPs across Essex began to withdraw from Shared Care agreements for ADHD medication in late 2024, thousands of patients suddenly found themselves navigating a very different reality. For many, prescriptions that had once been issued routinely by their local GP came to an abrupt halt. What followed was uncertainty, stress, and in some cases, crisis.

Our latest report captures the experiences of people affected by these changes. Their stories paint a clear and troubling picture: lives put on hold, wellbeing undermined, and families forced to make impossible financial choices.
