The Cumbria and Lancashire Neurosciences Commissioning Advisory Group (CALNCAG) gets off the ground.
LASCNA plays a key role in developing a group that will endeavour to facilitate the delivery of the NSF for long term neurological conditions across Lancashire and Cumbria. This new group is to be called the Cumbria and Lancashire Neurosciences Commissioning Advisory Group.
Ian Wardle, the Chair of LASCNA standing at the back, sat with (from left to right) David Shakespeare, Donna Kendal, Janet Barnsley, Ann Steele, Sue Mason, Cathy Gardener, David Stockdale & Rachel Flemming to thrash out the purpose and objectives of the group. More information on this will be made available at a later date.
David Shakespeare is a Consultant in Neurological Rehabilitation Medicine;
Donna Kendal is a manager for Lancashire Teaching Hospital;
Janet Barnsley, Ann Steele, Sue Mason, Rachel Flemming and Cathy Gardener are all commissioners for Primary Care Trusts with responsibilties for Neuroscience; and
David Stockdale is a Commissioning Manager for the North West Specialist Commissioning Team.
