Transferring care into the community will give many more patients quick and easy access to specialist care when they need it. However, access to Parkinson's nurses remains deeply unequal, with patients often left without nurses and having to travel a long way to see a specialist nurse. The few available nurses are predominantly funded by Parkinson’s UK. What steps are being taken to increase equitable access to Parkinson’s nurses across the country?

Getting care out of hospitals and into the community very much depends on a functioning hospital. Last month, I met the group chief executive officer of Hull University teaching hospitals NHS trust, which has been placed in segment 4 of the NHS acute trust league table. She acknowledged the urgent need for improvement but cannot deliver transformation alone. Could the Minister meet me to discuss what more can be done to support this important hospital on its road to transformation and improvement?
