Parkinson's Disease: Health Services

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps her Department has taken to improve care for people with Parkinson's disease.

Answer

I would like to thank my Honourable friend who is a tireless campaigner on this issue.


NHS England’s RightCare toolkit and Getting It Right First Time programme aim to improve care for people with Parkinson’s by reducing variation and delivering care more equitably across England.


A new treatment for advanced-stage Parkinson’s was rolled out in the NHS earlier this year. Tomorrow, the Secretary of State is also meeting the Movers and Shakers, a group of broadcasters and public figures living with Parkinson’s, to discuss their ‘Parky Charter’.
