This morning, as both MP for Liverpool West Derby and Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on MND, I sent a letter to the Walton Centre NHS Trust, requesting its provision of tofersen - a drug which would be life-changing for people with SOD1 MND (about 2% of the MND population).
I am pleased so many of my fellow parliamentarians, both in Westminster and the Senedd, have co-signed this letter to the Walton Centre, to encourage its speciality Liverpool MND Care Centre to provide tofersen to any people in its catchment area who may need it.
Tofersen is available free on the NHS. The drug is there - let’s make sure everyone can access it.
