From the reviews:
This book grew out of the report on a UK meeting of health and social care professionals, together with representative patient organisations, convened to discuss the needs of people with progressive neurological disease. This book represents a lot of work and consideration, cataloguing the needs of these patients and their carers and working out how those needs can be best met.
