Call for increased funding for people with Parkinson’s and implementation of the “Parky Charter”
Mark Mardell is petitioning 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.
The Parky Charter, which is supported by the three big Parkinson’s charities, wants 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.
The Parky Charter sets out the need for:
- Speedy specialists
- Instant information
- Parkinson’s passport
- Comprehensive care
- Quest for a cure
At 100,000 signatures, this petition will be considered for debate in Parliament, and Mark is almost half way there. If you would like to add your signature to the petition, please do so here.
