John Perry
Question:243 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Health and Children his plans to deal with the shortage of neurologists in the country to improve the services for people with neurological conditions; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that such an improvement can only take place with an increase in the numbers of neurologists and a concomitant improvement in the services that are available to people with neurological problems; if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that some patients have to wait for six months for an appointment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
