Content of the petition
Ideas from the Group on January 25th
Brain Injury should be treated as an independent disability not to come under mental health or physical disability. It should have it’s own category with allocated funding.
All Neurological impairment to come under the same banner ie. Regardless of how the impairment is caused stroke, virus, traumatic injury. Services should be open to all needs.
More Liaison between providers of services including statutory and voluntary sectors. Referring on to appropriate services.
Services to delivery what the clients request not what they choose to provide.
Funding should be allocated to the client for them to decide how this will be spent.
More facilities needed locally that don’t entail a lot of travel to go to meetings etc.
More information to patients in hospitals or care homes.
More local services transport and easier access.
More available funding forgotten at postcodes. People shouldn’t be generalised but seen as individuals, support should be offered to carers.
For all of Britain
Helpful numbers ie Headway
More information in the pack about illnesses that can affect people with brain injury.
