National Service Framework for long-term conditions--Quo vadis.
There is widespread dismay over the fate of the NSF for Long-term Conditions after all the efforts by so many people in securing its publication only one year ago in March 2005. In order to help to avoid its premature demise, the British Journal of Neurosurgery is pleased to provide a forum for the rapid publication of original papers and reviews that might help to catalyse the NSF's rational implementation. The first two of such papers are published in this Volume.
