This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition research, support and funding for brain injury patients and families
More details
In the UK, after the initial care from the wonderful medical staff in specialist wards across the country, Families and Patients are generally left to deal with the lifelong emotion, and financial struggle of full time care of a person that hvae been affected by a brain injury, often meaning they will have to give up their jobs. . A person dealing with severe brain injury, relies on a postcode lottery to decide if they are allowed funding for treatment physiotherapy and essential equipment, Families have very minimal support, either practically or financially. I want the government to provide care and funding for rehibilation for ALL brain injury patients, and more long term support put in place for the families that are full time carers to their loved ones. prevent funding cuts to organisations such as Headway.
