title: Epilepsy needs revisited: a revised epilepsy needs document for the UK.
abstract: We revisit epilepsy needs in the United Kingdom, and update our previous publication to take into account new epidemiological data, changes in investigation and treatment and trends in the organization of health and other caring agencies. This document attempts to define and quantify the scope, content and standards of services required, from primary care settings to specialized centres. Reference is also made to the role of other agencies.
