7 total sponsorsTabled

Motion Text

That this House expresses concern over the proposal by Glasgow City Integration Joint Board to end funding for the Scottish Huntington’s Association, which would result in the loss of specialist Huntington’s Disease services across the city; recognises the complex and progressive nature of Huntington’s Disease and the essential role that specialist staff play in supporting individuals and families affected; notes cross-party concern and the lack of consultation with clinical leads, service users and other key stakeholders; and calls on the Board to pause the proposal and undertake a full and inclusive consultation to ensure that any future decisions are based on accurate and comprehensive information.
