It was a privilege to visit the Stockport branch of Parkinson’s UK, which provides help and support to those living with Parkinson’s Disease and their carers.
I have given my full support to the group in their efforts to secure an additional part-time community based specialist Parkinson’s nurse for the area, who will be able to visit people in their homes.
I am pleased that Stepping Hill Hospital and the local Clinical Commissioning Group are working closely together to make this happen.
While I was visiting the Group, I had the pleasure of meeting Lord Garfield Davies; an inspirational person, like everyone else I met that afternoon.
