<p>Public Health England’s (PHE) Deaths Associated with Neurological Conditions report
was targeted at those responsible for the provision of services for people with neurological
conditions or end of life care. PHE disseminated the report to Directors of Public
Health and Health and Wellbeing Boards, and promoted the report through the Department,
NHS England, Neurological Alliance, Association of British Neurologists, Sudden Unexpected
Death in Epilepsy Action (SUDEP) Action, and Epilepsy Action.</p><p> </p><p>It is
not possible to report how many National Health Social commissioners have raised neurology
mortality as an area requiring attention in response to this report; however there
are mechanisms for local areas to identify neurology as a priority area for development.
In the NHS RightCare improvement cycle 2016/17, 62 of 205 clinical commissioning groups
(CCGs) submitted neurology as a priority area for improvement. In 2018/19, 37 of 195
CCGs submitted delivery plans that include neurological problems as improvement projects.
NHS England and PHE work with patient organisations such as the Neurological Alliance
to raise awareness and support improvement in outcomes for people living with neurological
conditions.</p>
