ADHD statistics (FOI)

Request

Please may I have the statistics on the total number of people, children and adults, with a primary diagnosis of ADHD and, if possible, the people with secondary co-morbid conditions, in the event they are categorised differently.

Response

The ADHD statistics for children and adults were published in a recent response which can be found here:
