Increase funding for people with Parkinson’s and implement the "Parky Charter"

Petition Details

We want the government to take the decisive five steps set out in the Movers and Shakers' "Parky Charter" and to fulfil the Health Secretary’s promises.

Additional Information

As a priority, we want to make sure that everyone referred for a possible Parkinson’s diagnosis sees a consultant within 18 weeks and at least once a year after that.

As set out in the Parky Charter, we want:

1. Speedy specialists
2. Instant information
3. Parkinson's passport
4. Comprehensive care
5. Quest for a cure

Parkinson’s is considered the fastest growing neurological condition in the world. We think it’s time for the government to respond to our grave concerns about what we consider systematic failings in Parkinson’s care.

The measures in the Parky Charter, which are supported by the three big Parkinson’s charities, require the government to deliver on their promises, ensuring timely diagnosis, comprehensive care, and dignity for all people with Parkinson’s.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
