Fund Awareness and Training Regarding Functional Neurological Disorders (FND)
I am calling on the Government to provide more funding to health bodies and governmental organizations to invest in FND education and awareness initiatives. This could help those living with FND and strengthen the overall quality of our healthcare system.

Background
I believe the lack of awareness and understanding surrounding FND can lead to delayed diagnoses, inadequate treatment plans, and ultimately, decreased quality of life for those living with this disorder. I think that increased education for health professionals, as well as a comprehensive public awareness campaign, will play a vital role in addressing these issues and improving the lives of individuals with FND.
