Renfrewshire North and West MSP Natalie Don has welcomed a cash boost for support services helping people living with neurological conditions.
The fourth round of Scottish Government funding is part of a five-year action plan and will provide £440,000 to progress eight projects run by organisations like the Care Inspectorate and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Cerebral Palsy Scotland and the Migraine Trust.
Ms Don, of the SNP, said the latest round of funding would be "life-changing" for local residents living with neurological conditions.

She said: "The innovative projects that receive this financial support are providing invaluable support to those living with conditions such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida and multiple sclerosis; helping them to live a fulfilling life, on their own terms.
"This funding allows these organisations to expand their services, and by investing a total of £4.5million invested over five years the SNP Government is making a real difference to the lives of those who need this support.
"The SNP Scottish Government is determined to ensure that high-quality and co-ordinated support is available to those with neurological conditions in Renfrewshire North and West and are making meaningful progress in making this a reality across Scotland."
