With regards to the National Health Service in Scotland, as healthcare is a devolved issue, the Department cannot comment.<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS England commissions specialised neurological services at a national level, including those with muscle-wasting conditions. The neurosciences service specification sets out what designated specialised providers must have in place to offer evidence-based, safe and effective care. Patients should have access to a multidisciplinary team (MDT) to assess, diagnose and provide support. The MDT will include neuromuscular consultants, neuromuscular physiotherapists, psychologists, specialist nurses, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and other health professionals.<\/p>

<\/p>

The specification further sets out that neuromuscular clinics need to identify those at risk of respiratory problems and refer for specialist respiratory assessment and monitoring.<\/p>

<\/p>

The specification can be found at the following link:<\/p>

A separate specification covers services for children.<\/p>
