Train Five. Keep Five.
'Train Five. Keep Five': Neurological Alliance calls on political parties to commit to protecting brain health before election.
Twenty of New Zealand's leading brain health and neurological organisations are calling on political parties to commit to funding additional neurologists before November's General Election, warning the country is training specialists only to lose them because there are not enough funded hospital positions.
Neurological Alliance of New Zealand, representing 20 organisations including Stroke Aotearoa New Zealand, Dementia New Zealand, Alzheimer's New Zealand, Parkinson's New Zealand, Brain Injury New Zealand, the Neurological Foundation and others, has today written to all Members of Parliament urging support for its 'Train Five. Keep Five.' campaign.
The Alliance is calling for Government to, at a minimum, fund two additional public hospital neurology positions every year and commit to developing a national neurological workforce strategy to plan for the future.
