What the petition asks

Recognise Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and require the UK Government to establish a clear national care pathway, ensuring timely diagnosis, appropriate treatment, specialist support, and consistent care across the UK.
Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a recognised neurological condition that can cause symptoms such as seizures, paralysis, movement difficulties having major impact on daily life. Many people with FND face delays in diagnosis, limited access to specialist services, and inconsistent care depending on where they live.
We want the UK Government to establish a clear national care pathway for FND, ensuring timely diagnosis, appropriate treatment, specialist support, and equal access to care.
