MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS NURSES

Early day motion 341, tabled 21 November 2007 by James Gray (Conservative). Signed by 79 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 a quarter of specialist posts may be at risk, despite the Government's long-standing commitment to fund their posts and recognises 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.

Signatures by party: Labour 37, Liberal Democrat 19, Conservative 17, DUP 4, Scottish National Party 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
