SERVICES FOR CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY

Early day motion 1594, tabled 7 February 2006 by Sally Keeble (Labour). Signed by 105 members.

That this House notes that cerebral palsy is the most common form of physical impairment among children, with 1 in 400 children under five developing cerebral palsy each year; regrets that despite Scope's calls no protocols are in place to enable a joined-up and responsive approach to service planning and provision for children with cerebral palsy; and calls on the Government to establish national standards of service provision, including best practice and early intervention, for children with cerebral palsy to enable them to achieve their full potential.
