The Bobath Centre Meets MPs at Parliament
The National Bobath Cerebral Palsy Centre welcomed Members of Parliament to Portcullis House this week to advocate for crucial early intervention therapy for infants displaying signs of cerebral palsy and developmental delay.
The event was spearheaded by CEO Madeleine Cassidy, who is concerned that NICE guidelines for cerebral palsy in children and young people (2017) are not being met and that not enough babies receive specialist therapy and intervention at an early enough stage.
The event sponsored by Watford MP Dean Russell provided an invaluable opportunity for MPs, including Daisy Cooper (St Albans) and Sir Oliver Heald (North East Herts) to gain an insight into the critical role that early intervention therapy plays in physical health, educational attainment and ongoing support requirements.
