NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS

Early day motion 2667, tabled 31 January 2012 by Alan Meale (Labour). Signed by 34 members.

That this House is aware of a recent National Audit Office report on neurological services for the more than two million people in the UK having a neurological condition, excluding migraine, which found poor co-ordination between health and social care services, with a national postcode lottery existing which benefits only a few of those needing specialist services, in many cases limited funds being spent inefficiently especially on unnecessary hospital stays; and believes that health services and medical research connected to neurology, desperately needs a fresh national strategic direction and clinical leadership to greatly improve services and deliver a better deal for those suffering from such conditions.

Signatures by party: Labour 20, Liberal Democrat 5, DUP 4, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Conservative 1, Independent 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
