People who have Parkinson's disease live with symptoms such a tremor, stiffness, lack of balance and slurred speech. In Canberra, they have been campaigning for a specialist nurse who would make home visits, similar to positions already working in other jurisdictions. The ACT government says work is underway to create a Parkinson's nurse position through the Brindabella Day Service at the University of Canberra Hospital, but a start date has not been confirmed.
