It is for individual primary care trusts (PCTs), including Redbridge and Waltham Forest PCTs, within the national health service to develop locally the levels of service described in the “National Service Framework for Long-term (Neurological) Conditions (the NSF)”. The NSF has a 10-year implementation programme from its publication in March 2005, with flexibility for organisations to set the pace of change locally to take account of differences in local priorities and needs.
Information on the progress that has been achieved locally with regard to the implementation of the targets set out in the NSF can be obtained direct from Redbridge and Waltham Forest PCTs.
