PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
EPILEPSY AND SUDDEN DEATH (30 November 1995)
Motion Details
That this House expresses its concern that up to 400 people may die in the United Kingdom each year from the phenomenon of sudden unexplained death in epilepsy and that research is being hampered in part by a failure of coroners and pathologists to accurately record causes of death of people with a history of epilepsy; calls upon the Government to make available resources for epilepsy research; and congratulates the voluntary organisation Epilepsy Bereaved on receiving charitable status and for its sterling work on behalf of families who suffer a bereavement due to a sudden unexplained death in epilepsy.
