    Hope and relief from the ADHD community, over prescription rule changes, to improve treatment access

    Hope and relief from the ADHD community, over prescription rule changes, to improve treatment access


    From February, GPs and nurse practitioners will be able to prescribe treatments from the outset - without a specialist recommendation.

    Wait times for specialist appointments vary, but can be over a year.

    ADHD NZ spokesperson, Darrin Bull, says over-diagnosis can be a concern, but these changes will still be enforced by medical professionals.

    Bull says they're comfortable given there will be training, and the benefits of this update outweighs over-diagnosis risks.
