“MPs Urge Top Health Civil Servant Samantha Jones to Recuse Herself from ADHD Clinic Clampd” — what this page in the network covers. Four MPs from Labour and the Liberal Democrats are calling for Samantha Jones, the permanent secretary at the Department of Health and Social Care, to be excluded from any role in the government's planned crackdown on private ADHD and autism clinics. The lawmakers argue that Jones's recent links to a major provider of ADHD assessments create a conflict of interest that could undermine the integrity of the regulatory overhaul.
The private neurodiversity assessment market has grown rapidly, prompting ministers to consider tougher rules, but the MPs insist that Jones's past industry connections make her involvement inappropriate. Their demand comes as the government faces pressure to ensure that any new regulations are developed without undue influence from private healthcare interests.
