Our research and reports
1. NAoS Carer's Centre Mapping Project (2023) presents the findings of how our member charities work in with Carer's Centres across Scotland and which Carer's centres have information regarding neurological conditions and refer individuals and families towards individual charities.
As a result of our report, we are working to implement some short, medium and long term goals in order to strengthen relationships between charities and carer's centres across Scotland.

In April 2023, we submitted a response regarding the mobility component of the Adult Disability Payment. You can read the NAoS submission here.
In August 2022 we wrote to the Minister for Women, Maree Todd MSP about the Women's Health Plan, which does not include neurology. We received a response in September 2022 from the Chief Medical Office.
In December 2021 we submitted a response to the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults Scotland consultation, which you can read here.
In November 2021 we submitted a response to the National Care Service consultation which you can read here.
