Description

Motor Neurone Disease Patients Face Unacceptable Delays for Home Adaptations: Campaigners from the MND Association reveal that it takes an average of 375 days in England, 357 days in Northern Ireland, and 289 days in Wales for essential changes like ramps, widened doors, and stairlifts. The charity highlights the heartbreaking stories of patients like Nicole Foster, who drained her savings to get a new bathroom and stairlift, leading to dangerous falls. The government is investing £711 million to slash waiting lists, but pressure is mounting for real change before more families suffer.
