Alert Over Parkinson’s Care
April 29, 2008
SCOTS suffering from Parkinson’s disease are “missing out” on adequate levels of care and support, a charity claimed today.
A Parkinson’s Disease Society survey found that three in 10 people with the disease do not have access to specialist nurses.
The report comes on the eve of Parkinson’s Awareness Week, a national campaign run by the PDS. The group surveyed more than 600 Parkinson’s sufferers in Scotland.
