Stop the dismantling of the Corsellis brain bank at St. Bernard's Hospital.
The Corsellis Brain bank took almost 50 years to build and was hugely important in research into illnesses such as epilepsy, CJD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and dementia.
The West London Mental Health Trust is dismantling it for no purpose, as storing it would cost less than dismantling.

A detailed history of the collection can be found here:

It is stored at St. Bernard's Hospital under the authority of the West London Mental Health Trust. After ten years of redevelopment the collection is now being dismantled, rendering it largely useless.
