Motor Neurone Disease

EDM number 2846 in 2005-06, proposed by Lembit Opik on 24/10/2006.

That this House recognises that Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a rapidly progressing and fatal disease of the central nervous system that affects 5,000 people at any one time in the UK; congratulates the Motor Neurone Disease Association on the work it does to support those affected by the disease and its efforts to find a cure, but notes that between 1999 and 2004, for every £337,000 the Government spent on research per diagnosed case of Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease, it invested a mere £108 in research per diagnosed case of MND; and calls on the Government to contribute towards the goal of a world free of MND by ring-fencing £7.5 million from the existing medical research budget specifically for research into the causes of MND.

This motion has been signed by a total of 76 MPs.
