The report of a working group set up to devise a Scottish Needs Assessment Programme for multiple sclerosis will be published this month. The report, which includes input from the Multiple Sclerosis Society, will assess the total needs of people with MS. It will provide health boards with valuable information which will help them to devise local strategies.
