I have just taken a call from my mum talking of ending her life. Why? Because of the lack of support from Ayrshire and Arran Health board on Parkinson's. In our experience, the call line in the Biggart Hospital is a joke. She has called countless times and left a message asking for help. The message advises to leave a message and get a call back in 5 days!!!! This is bad enough but the call doesn't come at all. She feels there is no point as no one can help her. She has been hospitalized where I sat with her for ten hours and am yet to see a doctor. She was sobbing and was left sitting in a chair with no attention. She has been sleep deprived for over a month and not even given anything to help with the sleep deprivation.
