Farage has about as much credibility on this as RFK Jr or Liz Kendall. That is to say none at all.

Why is this guy allowed to spew nonsense without ever being once asked what his medical qualifications are?

100%. As with disability benefits, or asylum claims, the system is just completely overwhelmed and simply blaming the tories won’t cut it.

Like the headline next to a picture of Fartage... I do believe that schools can disagree with findings but parents tend to win on appeal... perhaps the system need looking at but if only to confirm it is working ?

How children with special educational needs are being failed ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K21bE...
Nigel Farage has claimed that doctors are “massively over-diagnosing” children with special educational needs and disabilities (Send) and mental health conditions.
Asked at a press conference in Dover about the rising number of children diagnosed with Send, and what could be done to help them, Farage replied:
"It’s a massive problem. I have to say, for my own money, when you get to 18 and you put somebody on a disability register, unemployed, with a high level of benefits, you’re telling people aged 18 that they’re that they’re victims. And if you are told you’re a victim, and you think you’re a victim, you are likely to stay [a victim].
"So many of these diagnoses, for Send before 18, for disability register after 18 – so many of these have been conducted on Zoom, with the family GP.
"I think that is a massive mistake. I think you’re the family GP, and I’ve know your family for generations, and you’re saying to me there’s a real problem here with depression, or whatever it may be, it’s quite hard for me as your GP to say no.
"I don’t think any of these allocations should be done by family GPs. I think should be done independently.
"And I think we are massively – I’m not being heartless, I’m being frank – I think we are massively over-diagnosing those with mental illness problems and those with other general behavioural disabilities. And I think we’re creating class of victims in Britain that will struggle ever to get out of it."
