Stop the Quiet Ejection of Over-25s from ADHD Services in Coventry and Warwickshire


Stop the Quiet Ejection of Over-25s from ADHD Services in Coventry and Warwickshire
The Issue
Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) has quietly introduced a deeply concerning policy: a temporary halt on all new adult ADHD referrals for those over the age of 25. This means countless adults are being denied the right to assessment, diagnosis, and support—based solely on their age.
This policy sets a dangerous precedent. If it goes unchallenged, it risks becoming a blueprint for similar exclusions across the country. The UK already faces a crisis of underdiagnosis and unmet need among neurodivergent adults—this move takes us further in the wrong direction.
This is not just about Coventry and Warwickshire. It’s about protecting the rights and dignity of all neurodivergent people in the UK. We cannot allow age-based gatekeeping to become normalized.
