EDM number 1315 in 2008-09, proposed by Mark Hunter on 22/04/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases, Health education and preventive medicine and Health services.

That this House celebrates the 40th anniversary of the creation of the Parkinson's Disease Society; applauds the all-round support the society gives to the 120,000 people living with Parkinson's disease in the UK and in particular its contribution to advances in Parkinson's disease research; congratulates the society on the commitment of over 40 million of charitable funding into research to date, which has contributed to major breakthroughs such as the discovery of two of the genes associated with inherited Parkinson's disease and the development of highly effective drug treatments for Parkinson's disease; commends the society on opening one of the first Parkinson's disease-dedicated brain banks in the world which provides vital clues in understanding what goes wrong when nerve cells in the brain die; wholeheartedly supports its vision of continuing to fund research until the discovery of a cure for Parkinson's disease; and calls on the Government to continue its support for voluntary sector research grants through funds such as the Charity Research Support Fund.

This motion has been signed by a total of 105 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
