Westminster Hall debate on PANS and PANDAS!

Westminster Hall debate on PANS and PANDAS!

Tuesday 12th September will see PANS and PANDAS discussed in Parliament during a 90 minute Westminster Hall debate. Thanks to the efforts of the PANS PANDAS All-Party Parliamentary Group, this backbench debate will be held in order to discuss the current situation surrounding PANS and PANDAS in the UK and to raise awareness of the conditions.

We hope that all our community will pull together to ask their MPs to attend this debate. For more information on how to do this, please click here.

Spaces for visitors at the debate are limited, however representatives from PANS PANDAS UK will be attending and reporting back. The debate will also be available to watch in full on Parliament TV.
