HD feature on Rare Disease Day

 

How people diagnosed with rare illnesses including Huntington's Disease face a nightmare ordeal in Ireland - Independent.ie

"Ireland and Scotland have a roughly similar sized population and mix of urban and rural areas but care for people with Huntington’s disease could not be more different," 

"In Scotland support is predicated on multi-disciplinary support, delivered by ten regional teams, each with a clinical lead, specialist nurse, specialist youth worker and financial advisor and each linked to a wider network of agencies designed to provide care from diagnosis until the end of life for the roughly one thousand people who have HD in Scotland."
