Government inaction leading to unlicensed MS therapy, says TD

GOVERNMENT inactivity on several fronts has led MS sufferers to seek unlicensed and unregulated treatment, Green Party TD Dan Boyle said yesterday.

The Irish Examiner yesterday revealed how a Swiss company was providing stem cell therapy through a doctor’s surgery in Co Cork.

The Irish Medicines Board (IMB) is now investigating the situation because the controversial therapy - costing €18,500 for a three-hour session - is unlicensed here.
