National Strategy For Motor Neurone Disease
EDM number 254 in 2010-12, proposed by Ian Swales on 16/06/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Diseases.
That this House endorses the call by the Motor Neurone Disease Association for a national strategy for motor neurone disease (MND); believes that such a strategy would lead to enhanced cost-effectiveness and good practice; supports the implementation of the National Service Framework for long-term neurological conditions; is dismayed that no official national clinical guidance or approach exists in relation to MND; notes the extreme cruelty of motor neurone disease, which dramatically curtails lives and traps an often healthy mind in a failing and incapacitated body; and further believes that a national strategy is urgently needed in order to address the inequity of access to best practice in care for people with MND and to ensure as high a quality of life as possible and dignity in death.
