Categorised under the topics of Charities, Diseases and Health services.

That this House praises Multiple Sclerosis National Therapy Centres (MSNTCs) which offer invaluable assistance to thousands of MS sufferers and their families in England and Wales by providing a wide range of drug-free symptom management therapies, advice and support; notes that MSNTCs are non-profit-making charities which raise about £6 million annually, which is used entirely to meet their cost; is concerned at the Healthcare Commission's decision to impose charges for inspection of MSNTCs; further notes that these fees will have a very serious impact, making MSNTCs the only non-profit-making bodies charged these fees; further notes that Welsh MSNTCs are exempt from charges; and calls on the Government to review the Healthcare Commission's decision on inspection charges.

This motion has been signed by a total of 67 MPs.
