Western Isles MSP, Alasdair Allan, has today welcomed the news that NHS Western Isles have appointed an MS specialist nurse, who will be starting work shortly.
Alasdair Allan commented:
“I am delighted that NHS Western Isles have finally appointed an MS specialist nurse. I have met a number of times with local campaigners who fought a very hard and successful campaign to get a dedicated MS Nurse for the islands. I have also been in touch with NHS Western Isles a number of times on this issue to push for progress.
“The campaign to have a dedicated MS nurse in the Western Isles is recognition of the unusually high incidence of this condition in the islands; there is currently a limited range of options for ongoing advice and treatment locally without a dedicated nurse.
“I wish nurse Rachel Morrison well as she takes up her new post and know she will be of huge importance to those with MS in the islands, in helping them to manage their condition.”
