How will the Health White Paper impact people with a neurological condition?

On 12 July, Secretary of State for Health Andrew Lansley set out the coalition Government’s ambitious plans to reform the NHS during this Parliament and for the long-term as the Department of Health published its Health White Paper. The Alliance will work to get the priorities of the neurological sector across to the Government, but we need your input. How is your organisation responding? Send us your priorities.

Are you working to improve local services?

As well as national campaigning, we also work locally via 20 Regional Neurological Alliances. across England. RNAs comprise the regional staff of national condition-specific charities and service user/carer volunteers, working together to provide a united and authoritative local voice. All aim to work in partnership with local statutory agencies and provide advice and information for people affected by a neurological condition. They provide a great, single point of contact resource for local commissioners and others, working to improve services and ensure the patient’s voice is at the heart of service design, delivery and improvement.

Are you affected by a neurological condition?

As a campaigning organisation, the Neurological Alliance can’t provide individual support to people with a neurological condition – but our directory of organisations provides information about charities which can. These organisations aim to inform and advise patients, carers, and other people affected by a neurological condition.
