Questions that lead here
Limitations and possible poor fit
- NHS inform explicitly states that Scotland has no single standard ADHD assessment approach; the health-board pathway must be checked locally.
- Private-assessment acceptance and subsequent NHS treatment are separate local decisions.
- The page cannot establish whether a particular person has ADHD.
Cost and access notes
- Publicly accessible online; NHS access depends on the local health board pathway.
Ownership and conflicts
- NHS inform is Scotland's national health information service; ND Oracle records the official route without assuming local acceptance or outcome.
