That this House notes the forthcoming MS Awareness Week between 26 April and 2 May 2010; acknowledges that about 100,000 people throughout the UK are affected by the condition and that in some regions of the UK, such as the north coast of Northern Ireland, instances are among the highest throughout the country; and pays tribute to branches of the MS Society in Northern Ireland which have been lobbying elected representatives for more access to physiotherapy for people with multiple sclerosis given the benefits such treatment provides for sufferers.

Signatures by party: Labour 30, Liberal Democrat 13, DUP 7, Conservative 3, Independent 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Scottish National Party 1.
