Multiple Sclerosis (EDM1332)

Multiple Sclerosis

EDM number 1332 in 2008-09, proposed by James Gray on 22/04/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases and Health services.

That this House congratulates the MS Society, MS Trust, MS Resource Centre and MS Therapy Centre for their outstanding work in supporting people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) across the UK; but notes with concern the results of a recent YouGov survey that revealed common myths and misconceptions among the general public about how MS affects people's lives; regrets that only one in four people know that MS is most commonly diagnosed in people aged 25 to 34 years old and that 40 per cent. of the public were unable to name a single symptom associated with MS; but commends MS Awareness Week, taking place from 27 April to 3 May 2009, for helping to address these misconceptions about the often variable and fluctuating nature of multiple sclerosis.

This motion has been signed by a total of 74 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
