What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to develop and provide funding for a clinical pathway and services for adults with cerebral palsy.

What the petitioner did first

I have been in contact with Murdo Fraser MSP and he has written to the Scottish Government on my behalf. Mr Fraser has requested a meeting with the Minister for Sport, Health Improvement and Mental Health. A meeting has not as yet been arranged. In addition, Mr Fraser has submitted 2 written parliamentary questions. The responses I received from the Minister on the issues of providing a clinical pathway and services was inaccurate and unsatisfactory.
In addition, Mr Fraser has asked a question in the Chamber at general questions on the 18th of June 2015
- To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to improve care services for adults with cerebral palsy. (S4O-04479). The Minister’s reply was inadequate.
Furthermore, I run an online support group called “Living Positively with Cerebral Palsy”. This allows people with cerebral palsy to share their experiences of living with cerebral palsy. The message from my website is that there is not a national clinical pathway or therapy for adults with cerebral palsy.
Also, I have been working closely with Bobath Scotland to raise awareness of cerebral palsy and lobby for a clinical pathway and therapy services for adults.
