Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will support the establishment of a network of neurological care coordinators.
Answer
It is a matter for NHS boards to provide the services required to meet the assessed needs of their populations, including any networking arrangements that may be beneficial for patients. The Scottish Government has provided improvement funding of up to £210,000 in the year 2015-16, to support projects which drive improvement in treatment, services and care for people living with neurological conditions. This represents almost a threefold increase in funding compared to 2014-15.
