Dystonia Awareness Week
The motion
That the Parliament recognises Dystonia Awareness Week, from 5 to 13 May 2012; notes that dystonia is a neurological disorder characterised by uncontrollable muscle spasms caused by incorrect signals sent from the brain; understands that it affects an estimated 1 in 900 people in the UK, with 30 to 50% of cases undiagnosed due to the nature of the condition, and recognises the work of organisations such as the Dystonia Society in raising awareness, providing support to people living with dystonia and funding scientific research into the condition.
