That this House notes with concern that Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, together with the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire Integrated Care Board, has temporarily closed the acceptance of new adult ADHD referrals; recognises the significant pressure currently facing the Trust, having received more referrals in a single month than it was originally commissioned to assess in an entire year; further recognises that this issue is not confined to Berkshire, with 15 local areas having closed adult ADHD waiting lists and a further 31 having introduced tighter access criteria; further notes that these services are essential for many people across the country, some of whom may be forced to seek costly private assessments at a time when many households are already struggling with the cost of living; urges the Government to support to Integrated Care Boards to enable them to accept and treat new adult ADHD patients; and calls on the Government to consider providing greater support for community-based projects and services that assist people living with ADHD.

Construction of a new MRI centre at West Berkshire Community Hospital

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 17 December 2025

That this House welcomes the commencement of construction of a new MRI diagnostic centre at West Berkshire Community Hospital in Newbury, which will be capable of delivering over 17,000 scans a year and will bring care closer to patients; applauds the generosity of local charities, including the Newbury and Thatcham Hospital Building Trust, the Peter Baker Foundation, Greenham Trust and the Storey Foundation, whose donations of more than £2 million have made this state-of-the-art facility possible; notes the UK Government’s recent Budget announcement of 250 new Neighbourhood Health Centres across England to cut waiting times and deliver healthcare direct to people’s homes; recognises the particular need for such centres in rural areas like West Berkshire, where access to primary and diagnostic care can be more limited; and calls on the Government to ensure that rural communities are fully included in the rollout of Neighbourhood Health Centres so that patients outside major towns and cities benefit equally from modern, localised healthcare.
