A new five-year plan aimed at improving care for those suffering from neurological conditions has been unveiled.
The Scottish Government has pledged £4.5 million over the period for the programme, with Public Health Minister Joe Fitzpatrick saying this would "build on what is working well".
An estimated one million Scots are living with neurological conditions, which can range from migraines to life-limiting illnesses such as motor neurone disease.
At least 10% of sufferers are left disabled by their conditions, which also include epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
The plan aims to provide more personalised care for sufferers, regardless of which part of the country they live in.
It also sets out to tackle "challenges" within the workforce.
Mr FitzPatrick launched the new plan during a visit to the William Quarrier Scottish Epilepsy Centre in Glasgow .
He said: "Around one million people in Scotland live with a neurological condition ranging from common conditions such as migraines to life-limiting illnesses such as motor neurone disease.
"We recognise the scale, variety and context of neurological conditions and how distressing they can be for the person with the condition and their family.
"There are a number of challenges these can present the health and social care system and much has been achieved and is being done to address this, particularly through the integration of health and social care.
"This new plan will build on what is working well, while supporting those responsible for providing care and support, and those planning services to tackle the challenges."
Quarriers chief executive Alice Harper said: "The William Quarrier Scottish Epilepsy Centre welcomes the framework as it will help people affected by epilepsy get the right support at the right time, and receive the quality support they deserve.
"We share the values of the national action plan in promoting person-centred health and social care in local communities as well as specialist resources like the William Quarrier Scottish Epilepsy Centre, which focus on people living a life where their condition does not define them."
