Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps he is taking to improve access to specialist health facilities for people with progressive supranuclear palsy.
There is no specific treatment for progressive supranuclear palsy and management of the condition is symptomatic with appropriate Multi-Disciplinary Team care and support from social care. Often patients are referred on to a specialist in movement disorders either in a hospital or neuroscience centre.
