Yvette Cooper announces faster access to care for people with motor neurone disease

The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Yvette Cooper, has explained a new fast-track care pathway will be made available for people with motor neurone disease (MND).  The service will provide a more joined-up, person-centred approach to care, reducing the need for people to navigate multiple services.
