A man who was diagnosed with ADHD in his thirties says making it harder for adults to be referred for the condition on the NHS could put lives at risk.

The Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust temporarily stopped accepting new referrals for adults over 25 for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), in an effort to cut waiting lists for children.

Andy Morrison, from Coventry, said he nearly developed a substance abuse problem before he was diagnosed and feared others could go down a similar route while waiting.
