A better deal for neurology
25 January 2012
The Neurological Alliance has launched an online campaign, ‘A better deal for neurology’.
The campaign follows the recent National Audit Office report which shows a lack of improvement in services for millions of people with neurological conditions. The campaigning organisation is aiming to secure a government commitment to improving care and support through the implementation of a new national strategy for neurology.
An online petition will call for the strategy to include a national clinical director for neurology and the option of personalised care plans for all people with neurological conditions. The Neurological Alliance is asking for as many people as possible to sign up to the campaign via their website.
Sue Millman (pictured), Ataxia UK Chief Executive and Vice Chair of The Neurological Alliance, said “We need a real commitment from the Government and the NHS to work with people with neurological conditions, and with the third sector, to develop a new, effective strategy.”
