Today’s Challenge, Tomorrow’s Hope: A call to action for the next Scottish Government 

An estimated one million people in Scotland live with a neurological condition that has a significant impact on their lives.  The Scottish Burden of Disease estimates this number will rise by 34% in the next 20 years.

For too long people living with neurological conditions and those who care for them have been let down by health, social care and education systems. Scotland cannot afford – economically, socially, or morally – to ignore the needs of the 1 in 6 who live with neurological conditions and their loved ones. The next Scottish Government must act decisively to end inequality, support families, and invest in the future of neurological care.
