S3M-56 Robert Brown: National Epilepsy Week
That the Parliament asks that the Scottish Executive acknowledges the work of epilepsy organisations, in the Joint Epilepsy Council of the UK and Ireland, to address epilepsy and employment issues during National Epilepsy Week from 20 to 26 May 2007; further asks that the Executive takes appropriate measures to address research findings which show that a person with epilepsy in Scotland is twice as likely to be at risk of unemployment and underemployment than someone without a disability, and finally asks the Executive to welcome the launch of Epilepsy Scotland’s new free epilepsy guide for employers in the Scottish Parliament during National Epilepsy Week 2007.
