How do we involve young people or adults with ADHD and their parents/carers in making decisions about their care? To what extent is current provision of parent/carer training programmes or group training programmes meeting local needs? What is our local care pathway (for all ages) and how does this integrate with other organisations? How do young people transfer to adult services in our area?
