Episode description

In this bonus episode, Sam and Katie unpack the new interim report from the NHS ADHD Taskforce and why it might actually be a bigger deal than it sounds. From the £17 billion cost of untreated ADHD to long-overdue recognition of underdiagnosis and school exclusions, the report brings both hope and hard questions.

They explore why support shouldn’t depend on a formal diagnosis, the need for root-and-branch change across education and work, and the risk of good intentions falling flat without real government action. With reflections from campaigners like Henry Shelford from ADHD UK, and a shared sense of cautious optimism, this episode cuts through the jargon to ask what happens next and whether this could be the start of something transformative.
