United to End MND update

Tuesday, 26 April 2022

Research

Ahead of today's (26 April) coalition meeting with Gillian Keegan MP, a group of scientists representing the leading MND research centres have written a letter to the Minister outlining the benefits of a single peer-reviewed application for the delivery of the £50m government investment.

A similar letter was also written to the Minister for Science, Research and Innovation, George Freeman MP, with copies sent to Sajid Javid MP and Kwasi Kwarteng MP.

My Name'5 Doddie Foundation's Medical Strategy Lead, Sean McGrath, will be attending the meeting and we hope to share the outcomes of it soon.

The letter can be viewed here.
