Multiple Sclerosis - Shortage of neurologists is a disgrace

IRELAND’S failure to provide adequate treatment for MS sufferers is absolutely scandalous.

Once again, despite claiming to have one of Europe’s richest economies, this country’s appalling health service lags behind other EU states when it comes to looking after those most in need of care.

Given the stark scenario outlined at a European conference on Multiple Sclerosis, Ireland deserves to be roundly criticised for having an abysmally low neurologist-to-patient ratio.
