Today is 5yrs since the Cumberlege report. @welshgovernment.bsky.social remain silent, failing to advocate for those harmed by Valporate. Families in Wales must not be left behind, we deserve justice too. We must be allowed to heal.

My son is 17 now, and life hasn’t been easy. He lives with the lasting impacts of Valproate, physical, neurological and emotional, and I live with guilt each day that I took Valproate ✍️ Becci Smart wp.me/p8Mk4U-12oE

I don't know what the future holds for my son, but I do know I live daily with the guilt, dismissal is something we face too often & all because @ukgovernment.bsky.social hid the truth.
It's been 5 years, the time for action is now!
This is our #Valproate story.

In 2021, Welsh Government pledged to update the Learner Travel Measure (Wales) 2008. Acknowledging issues lead to inequality with the outdated legislation.
The process never began & the measure remains unchanged.
They must now commit to updating the Measure.

1 in every 100 people has #Epilepsy.
It's not a rare condition, but there is so much we still don't understand.
In the UK, each year, only £21 per person with Epilepsy is allocated for research, this amounts to 0.3% of the UK research budget.

Today marks the start of #BrainAwarenessWeek
Every year, 600,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with a neurological condition, with neuro conditions now the leading cause of ill-health and disability globally.
There are over 600 neurological conditions and these conditions do not discriminate.

1 in 6 people will develop a neuro condition at some point in their life, we just don't know why.
Research investment for Neuro conditions has been chronically low & continues to remain underfunded.
This must change.
