MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS NURSES
Early day motion 387, tabled 4 December 2006 by James Gray (Conservative). Signed by 144 members.
That this House believes that multiple sclerosis (MS) nurses provide a vital range of specialist services that are not available elsewhere; notes that the MS Society fears that, because of NHS cuts, a quarter of specialist posts are at risk, despite the Government's long-standing commitment to fund their posts and recognise the financial savings they provide to the NHS; and calls upon the Government to do more to renew its original commitment to the role MS nurses play for the 85,000 people living with multiple sclerosis.
