Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to ensure that specialist multiple sclerosis nurses funded through the Risk Sharing Scheme remain in post after data collection for the Scheme ends in summer 2015.
The Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Risk Sharing Scheme remains in operation until 2016. We will work with NHS England and the four drug company members of the Scheme to ensure that specialist nursing support for MS patients is not disrupted when the Scheme comes to an end.
