| Best selling novelist, JK Rowling, was among more than 200
people who lobbied the Scottish Parliament for a minimum 'Standard
of Care' to be set out for Multiple Sclerosis sufferers in Scotland.
The patron of the MS Society, Scotland, JK Rowling slammed current
standards of care.
"We live in the MS capital of the world; Scotland ought to be
leading the world in this area, not falling lamentably short. It is
simply inhumane to neglect people because they have an inconvenient
illness that won't go away."
The campaigning author, whose late mother's fight with Multiple
Sclerosis gave the Harry Potter novelist an acute awareness of the
disease, added;
"People's lives are being blighted, just as my mother's was, not
only by this cruelly unpredictable illness, but also by the
inadequacy of their care."
