Access to Community Neurological Rehabilitation Teams: Discussion
Dr. Susan Coote:
The best estimate is approximately 9,000. However, the number listed as having multiple sclerosis under the long-term illness scheme is close to 10,000, which is a better estimate. People with multiple sclerosis are diagnosed in their early 20s and live with the condition for a long time. That leads to a multiplication of care needs.
