National action plan on neurological conditions: equality impact assessment
It assists the government to look at how its policies impact on people and enables it to comply with its public sector equality duty.
Recommendations and Conclusion
It is expected that the National Action Plan will have a positive impact on all people in Scotland who are living with a neurological condition. The plan aims to raise awareness within the general population of how neurological conditions can impact on people's lives.
The plan addresses issues of social isolation and seeks to address the inequity of provision of care and support that results from geographical boundaries and local policies.
It is planned that a final EQIA for the National Action Plan will be completed by March 2019 to coincide with its final publication. This enables feedback received during the public consultation exercise held between 13 November 2018 and 8 February 2019 to be taken into account.
