Resolved –

Bradford Council notes that the Motor Neurone disease charter is made up of 5 points:

1.    The right to an early diagnosis and information

2.    The right to access quality care and treatment

3.    The right to be treated as individuals and with dignity and respect

4.    The right to maximise their quality of life

5.    Carers of people with MND have a right to be valued, respected, listened to and supported.

This Council agrees:

·         To adopt the Motor Neurone Disease Charter as outlined above and promote it widely in order to raise awareness of MND and what good care looks like for those living with this terrible disease. It has impacted on valued colleagues in this Council Chamber and we have all therefore seen its devastating effects.

·         That the above points should be our aim for all people and their carers in Bradford District who have challenging health conditions and we will work with our partners to achieve these.
