We urge the Government to increase funding to ensure better Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) care, including clear FND care pathways in health trusts, multidisciplinary teams trained in FND, more follow-up appointments for patients, and mandatory training for GPs, neurologists, and A&E staff.

We are not just statistics. We are people living with a life-altering condition. We ask for dignity, proper care, and a system that recognises and supports us. We live with real, disabling symptoms from seizures and paralysis to chronic fatigue and cognitive challenges. We feel we deserve the same standards of care as patients with other neurological or chronic conditions.
