Text

I thank the Member for his question. I should have declared an interest at the start as a former member of the all-party group on neurology. The Member's question is one that has been written, emailed and messaged to me from people whom I know. It is really important that we get off on the right foot on that. I believe in co-production. It is absolutely central to this, because we need to have the confidence of service users and those collective voices. We have to trust our clinicians. We have to ensure that we burn ourselves out getting off on the right foot when it comes to those governance arrangements, because we have to get it right this time. I look forward to engaging in that work with the alliance and the coalition.
