Yes. The one point I would make is that while it is a neurological specialist nurse that has been approved, an MS specialist nurse is slightly different in that the medication patients with MS take is very specialised and they need a lot of monitoring and care. However, while there is still no MS nurse, it is a very positive response that a neurological nurse will be approved and put in place during the year. I ask that MS as a speciality could also be considered.
