Councillors are being urged to back the MND campaign to get councils to adopt the MND Charter and help make a difference to people living with Motor Neurone Disease in their communities.
The MND Charter is a statement of the respect, care and support that people living with MND and their carers deserve and should expect.
The five points of the Charter are:
- The right to an early diagnosis and information
- The right to access quality care and treatments
- The right to be treated as individuals and with dignity and respect
- The right to maximise their quality of life
- Carers of people with MND have the right to be valued, respected, listened to and well-supported.
There is a campaign pack for Councillors here which includes press releases and guides.
On the same website here there is also advice about getting your Council to adopt the charter.
