Increasing Support for the Neuro-Charities Centre

 Deputy First Minister & Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing Nicola Sturgeon

"The Action plan (Better Health, Better Care) also sets out our commitment to encouraging closer working between statutory agencies and the Third Sector, and in light of the work the Trust has been doing with a wide range of partners, the project seems a concrete example of that way of working."

"The Centre would be compatible with the generic standards for neurological conditions which NHS Quality Improvement Scotland is currently developing."

"Such a Centre would make a significant contribution to the way in which people living with a neurological condition can manage their own condition."

"It is also in tune with the encouragement we have been giving as a Government to social enterprise initiatives." 

European Federation of Neurological Associations

It gives me great pleasure to offer the support of EFNA for the splendid initiative you and your colleagues are taking in Scotland, to bring together the neurological patient organisations under one roof.

As you know, the concept of partnership is one which EFNA holds dear and we especially have warmed to your idea of bringing several agencies together to provide accommodation and meeting facilities for so many deserving patient organisations.

Department of Neurology – Southern General Hospital Glasgow

We wholeheartedly endorse and support proposed development for a centre for patients and sufferers with neurological disease and would be happy to be involved in taking this onward.

The Neurosciences Foundation – West of Scotland

The neurosciences foundation would indeed endorse the project and be interested in participating.

The project seems most commendable in value for money, utilising such funding as to the best advantage of many organisations that have common interests.

Scottish Huntingtons Association

Your proposed development is an exciting one.  It has the potential to bring together the resources of many organisations and the resulting synergy is likely to lead to innovation and excellence.

Myasthenia Gravis Association

I am pleased to advise you that at our recent Board meeting our Trustees were unanimous in their support of our Association supporting this venture.

Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland

We express formally our support for the proposal.  We feel that this would be of significant benefit to people affected by stroke, and also offers an opportunity for different charities to work together for their benefit.
