The most common serious neurological condition in Scotland, and the case for a National Epilepsy Action Plan within the Long Term Conditions Framework.
We're calling on the Scottish Government to commit to a National Epilepsy Action Plan within the Long Term Conditions Framework this Parliamentary term.
Epilepsy affects more than 80,000 people in Scotland. More than two die from it every week. Outcomes vary sharply by postcode and circumstance, with people in the most deprived communities more likely to develop the condition and to experience worse outcomes, including earlier mortality. Despite this, there is no national action plan guiding how the condition is diagnosed, treated, or supported.
