Access to community mental health services when psychiatric symptoms are present
Helpline:
With so many decisions about the treatment of Huntington's disease made by the government and politicians we have started working with people who can really make a difference
We are so grateful for everyone who has written to their MP. If this is something you would be interested in doing it, please get in touch if you require support.
A member of the community recently wrote a letter to their local MP and they have received a letter back from Helen Whatley MP. It is great to see that as a community our voices are being heard. You can read the response letter below.
