Support Epilepsy Bereaved to give SUDEP and other epilepsy-related deaths a higher priority in parliament.
The general election presented Epilepsy Bereaved with a great opportunity to put the prevention of epilepsy deaths higher up the political agenda. Newly elected Members of Parliament will be eager to be supportive as will those who have supported the charity in the past.
Epilepsy Bereaved has organised a meeting for MP’s and we need your support to get them to attend.
Please contact your MP and share your experience of losing your loved one to epilepsy find your MP
We would be grateful if you could ask your MP to;
;;
-Attend our meeting.
The charity had a meeting for MP’s planned for 20th October but due to the publication of the comprehensive spending review on the same day, members of parliament were committed to be elsewhere at the time of our meeting.
With this in mind, we have taken the decision to postpone our meeting until January or early February, 2011.
-Invite their Primary Care Trust, Strategic Health Authority or Local Health Board to respond to the Epilepsy Bereaved Briefing for Commissioners of Health Services
;
-Seek a response from government on avoidable deaths from epilepsy.
