Hi Ian, I read your question about support groups for PD sufferers in GB. I don't know about the names and addresses for local groups down where your folk live - However, they should get in contact with the Parkinson's Disease Society. Their national HQ is in London. They run an information service and have a network of local support groups throughout the country. Address: Parkinson's Disease Society 30, Portland Place London W1N 3DG Telephone: 071 323 1174 If your folks have any difficulty finding out about things, get in touch again, and I'll see what I can come up with from the north of England. I'm surprised the local neurologist didn't put them in touch with either a group in their area, or at least give out the PDSociety literature Best wishes Nick [log in to unmask]
