Provinces missing out on neurololgy services - advocate

From Morning Report, 7:35 am on 30 August 2019

People living with MS in New Plymouth are running a one-day Brain Health seminar tomorrow tagged "Time Matters" to push their message that the provinces are missing out on neurology services. They want a resident neurologist to be based at Taranaki Base Hospital to prevent delays in diagnosis and treatment for conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis which can lead to unnecessary brain damage. Our Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin put together this report.
