One in three Scots fighting Multiple Sclerosis do not get the benefits they deserve


For over 11,000 people in Scotland, living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a daily reality.
MS is an unpredictable and incurable condition that affects people’s nervous systems.
It can attack suddenly or progress steadily, bringing a range of symptoms which can include sight loss, incontinence, fatigue and mobility problems. No-one with MS can be sure when or how it will affect them next.
With devolved health and social care, and even more powers to come, Scotland is in a strong position to lead the way in MS provision.
In recent years we have seen real progress in terms of helping people self-manage their condition, allowing people to maintain their independence for longer. We are also seeing an increased understanding of MS in the health service helped in part by having MS specialist nurses.
