The APPG met with DHSC Minister Sharon Hodgson to discuss NHS England’s proposals to move spinal cord injury from national to local commissioning. Such a decision directly contradicts the calls for greater national coordination, consistent standards, and long-term system reform.

Great to stand with @andymcdonaldmp.bsky.social to support the launch of Building a National Spinal Cord Injury Strategy. People living with spinal cord injuries deserve coordinated care and support at every stage of life. We must make that a reality.
