Simon Morris Hi EPDA's project on Understanding Quality of Life of PwP & the Caregivers will undoubtedly contribute to better understanding of the needs of Pakinsonians. However it is disappointing that the time constraints placed by the deadline of Friday 25 July for submissions, prevents the possibility of an indepth international representation of experiences and opinions. To obtain a reasonable number of contributors from the 6000 plus Parkinsonians in New Zealand would take at least 6 to 8 weeks, not 4 Days. I suggest that the closing date for submissions be extended to mid September. In the meantime I am preparing my own personal contribution which I will email to you by Friday. I look forward to the release of the eventual report from the European Association - Strength to thier elbow. Jim Caldwell <[log in to unmask]>
