New Groundbreaking MND Drug Trial
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes a new clinical drug trial, MND-SMART, for motor neurone disease (MND); recognises that the £1.5 million investment in the UK-wide trial will allow multiple treatments to be tested at once; notes that the trial will enable about 750 patients with the condition to take part in tests of potential treatments; notes that the rugby legend, Doddie Weir, is among those taking part in the trial, and congratulates him on raising £5 million for MND research through his charity, My Name’5 Doddie.
