1) Eligibility from diagnosis to support early intervention to reduce the economic and social burden and improve quality of life for people living with neurological and progressive neuromuscular conditions;
2) Disease sensitive and ongoing assessments be undertaken by experienced practitioners with expert knowledge in the field of neurological and progressive neuromuscular conditions;
