National Campaign launched by NAI and its member charities.

The launch of the report, "The Future for Neurological Conditions in Ireland: A Challenge for Healthcare; an Opportunity for Change, An essential guide to neurological care in our health services" by the The Neurological Alliance of Ireland on Tuesday 29th June 2010, marked the beginning of a nationwide campaign by the NAI and its member charities, calling on the HSE to put in place a National Programme for Neurological Care.

The Neurological Alliance of Ireland, (NAI) is the umbrella group for organisations working with people with neurological conditions. The NAI and its members groups are calling for a national programme for neurological care which will require the HSE to publish and implement its own recommendations for investing in and improving services for people with neurological conditions.

Members of the public are encouraged to join the campaign by signing the petition here: media.custminds.com/files/nai/petition.html
