Dear Majorie,
I would love to come when we get the Government recognition for People with
Parkinson's.  I didn't think you had a Government yet. I'll swap you John
Howard for Bill Clinton any day.

Re: Roger's question Parkinson's Australia has been around for some years but
I have been running the secretariat as a second job representing all the stat
organisations.  Hopefully, from January 1st  I will be running it on a
permanent basis.
We have devised a strategy to conduct a major prevalence and cost of care
study and following the example set by The Kingston Centre in Melbourne and
Concord in Sydney, have a major clinics to treat patients in a multi-
disciplinary way. Also a team of nurse specialists who can teach the medical
fraternity how to look after the special needs of PWP.  Some good news on the
first submission, we were informed today they
are looking at the first stage very seriously.
If your interested in how and why just  me direct by E-mail or phone on
0408642720.
