A man living with Parkinson's has said he and others can't continue relying on just six specialist nurses.He has voiced serious concerns over the lack of dedicated specialist nurses in Ireland.the number of specialists - based on our population and the recommended European average - should actually be 31.
"We're looking at that number and realising that in the North of Ireland, there are about 10 or 12 nurses. Gary explained that other shortages mean people living with Parkinson's are only likely to get an annual review with their consultant or registrar."So where we have specialist nurses, they can step in and assist with queries that a person living with Parkinson's is having - or difficulties that a person living with Parkinson's is having."
"Commitments are made, and I'm really trusting and relying on Minister Donnelly to deliver on his word"."The reality is there are people who are not seeing nurses at all, they're not getting any help.
