Consultation responses

When government departments and other organisations want to introduce changes they usually ask the public what they think of their plans. This is called consultation.

Epilepsy Action frequently receives consultations and responds on behalf of people with epilepsy. As a membership organisation, we want to be everyone with an interest in our work to see exactly what we are saying on their behalf.

Below is a selection of responses that Epilepsy Action has sent to consultations where a response could benefit people living with epilepsy. It is worth checking this page regularly as new consultation responses will be listed here - please add this page to your bookmarks or favourites.

We are keen to get feedback on the responses that we have sent to consultations on behalf of people with epilepsy.

If you have any comments to make please contact Michaela Miller, Epilepsy Action's Campaigns & Policy Officer, by phone on 0113 210 8800 or by email to mmiller@epilepsy.org.uk.
