Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy and epilepsy deaths prevention
End-of-day debate on a single topic
An Adjournment debate on sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) and measures to prevent epilepsy-related deaths. The debate, sponsored by Lib Dem MP Olly Glover, will examine the scale of the problem, current preventative strategies, and what additional action the government should take to reduce preventable deaths among people living with epilepsy.
Epilepsy affects around 600,000 people in the UK, and SUDEP is a leading cause of death among young people with epilepsy. The debate matters because it raises awareness of a poorly understood but preventable condition and pressures the government to improve epilepsy care, safety guidance, and research funding to reduce mortality rates.
