Together with The Neurological Alliance, we’re calling on the Government to commit to a national plan for neurological conditions by introducing a Modern Service Framework for neurological conditions.
1 in 6 children, young people and adults in England live with a neurological condition, including Huntington's disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, myasthenia gravis, epilepsy and motor neurone disease, among many others. But neurological services are overstretched, with access varying widely across the country.
By committing to a modern service framework now, the government can deliver:
- Improved access to the support and services that people with neurological conditions need to live well, reducing avoidable health crises and avoidable emergency admissions by 30% by 2035.
- Improved outcomes tackling unwarranted variation across neurology services.
- Better access to services closer to home, reducing the burden of travel and making care more equitable.
- Economic benefits, supporting more people with neurological conditions to live well and for them and those who care for them to stay in work and/or education for longer.
Together we’re ready to work with the Government to develop a modern service framework for neurological conditions. Add your voice to our call for a national plan for neurological conditions now. If you are able, please sign and share our open letter here:
Thank you.
