The Constitutional Aims of INS established at its inception and remaining at the heart of the organisation are: • To provide a caring, rehabilitation, maintenance and support service primarily for people with Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease or who have suffered a Stroke. • To reduce the effects of their disabilities and improve quality of life. • To encourage clients to help themselves and to live as independently as possible. • To provide practical and emotional support to family carers. • To monitor each patient’s condition and measure objectively the effect of INS intervention. • To liaise and work with statutory and voluntary organisations to enhance the long-term care given within the community to those with neurological conditions. • To advance education in the support of people with neurological conditions and their carers. • To develop a model of good practice which could be replicated in other areas of the country.
