Dear FOI Officer,
I am writing to make a request for all the information to which I am entitled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
Could you please supply me with the following information concerning the number of people with ADHD and emotional dysregulation in your area as of 2025, if 2025 data is not able to be supplied for any of the questions please supply it for the year 2024.
I would like the above information to be provided to me electronically, preferably in an Excel or Word document. If there are other relevant statistics or links that have not been specified above please also supply those.
If this request is too wide or unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me, as I understand that under the Act you are required to advise and assist requesters.
I understand that all data must be anonymised, and I am only requesting summary figures rather than any detailed patient reports.
1. The number of patients with ADHD under your trust that also have documented emotional dysregulation, mood disorders, anxiety or self-harm / mood-instability issues recorded.
2. Of those with ADHD, how many have comorbid mental health conditions recorded (e.g., anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, mood disorders)? If possible, please provide the number for each comorbid condition separately.
3. How many ADHD patients were seen by crisis services or home treatment teams in the last 12 months under your trust? (if possible, please also state the reason).
4. How many people with ADHD under your trust are currently in therapy, or waiting for therapy, due to emotional regulation difficulties being recorded as the presenting issue or reason for referral?
5. If possible, please provide the information for each different form of therapy
If any of this information is already in the public domain, please can you direct me to it, with page references and URLs if necessary.
Additionally, if you are only able to answer or hold the information for some of the questions, please supply that still.
I understand that you are required to respond to my request within 20 working days after you receive this letter. I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me via email or phone, and I will be happy to clarify what I am asking for. My details are outlined below.
I look forward to hearing from you.
