新西兰有ADDHD的儿童面临漫长的等待时间,将一半儿童推向寻求昂贵的私人照料。 Children with ADHD in New Zealand face long wait times, pushing half to seek costly private care.

对于新西兰的海湾和湖区的ADHD儿童, 与该国其他地区相比, 预约的等待时间较短. Children with ADHD in New Zealand's Bay of Plenty and Lakes districts face shorter wait times for appointments compared to the rest of the country. 然而,由于公共等候时间过长,约有一半人寻求私人护理,耗资高达3 000美元,因此获得服务仍具有挑战性。 However, access remains challenging, with about half seeking private care due to long public wait times, costing up to $3,000. 新西兰卫生局承认这一问题,理由是劳动力短缺和需求增加,但指出紧急案件优先处理。 Health NZ acknowledges the issue, citing workforce shortages and increased demand but states that urgent cases are prioritized.
