Whitefield resident Joanne Cohen said she has been struggling to get medication for her son Sam for the past couple of months. Joanne said: “What worries me more than anything is if I can get it, I've got for the next couple of weeks, then what happens? And nobody can give you an answer.”Sam was diagnosed with ADHD aged seven and began medication within a year of diagnosis. Meanwhile, Janine Mclear, 46, who lives in Tottington, was diagnosed with ADHD in 2016 and started taking medication shortly after. She added: “Last year I had a nervous breakdown because I'd been without my ADHD medication."
