Multiple Sclerosis Nurses (EDM 341)
Access to MS specialist nurses is an ongoing MS Society campaign. James Gray MP has retabled an EDM for MPs to show how much they value the work that MS specialist nurses do. Even if you know your MP has signed an earlier version, it is worth checking if they have signed again. We need to keep this issue high on the parliamentary agenda!View this EDM's entry on the Parliament website for a list of current signatories
