PARKINSON'S DISEASE INQUIRY REPORT

That this House welcomes the findings of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Parkinson's Disease inquiry into health and social care, which concludes that there are systemic problems with access to key services for people with Parkinson's and their carers throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland; endorses its recommendations, including that the Department of Health should hold a five-year review of progress towards implementation of the National Service Framework for Long-term (Neurological) Conditions; believes that there is a pressing need for stronger national leadership on neurological services in England, Wales and Northern Ireland; and further welcomes the newly launched Fair Care for Parkinson's campaign by the Parkinson's Disease Society, which aims to improve services for people affected by the condition.
