MS physiotherapy project that could save State €19m annually 'stuck in limbo' 

More than three years since start of successful pilot, it is unclear whether funding will be granted

Dr Susan Coote: 'There is evidence to say the programmes are good for mental health as well as physical.'

A physiotherapy project costing under €900,000 per year could help save the State up to €19m annually but is stuck in “bureaucratic limbo”, says MS Ireland.

More than three years since the start of a successful MS Ireland pilot offering people with neurological conditions in Limerick, Clare and North Tipperary online access to exercise and physiotherapy, it remains unclear whether national funding will be granted.
