TURNER'S SYNDROME

EDM number 1203 in 1990-91, proposed by Marjorie Mowlam on 24/07/1991.

That this House is appalled by the treatment of 10 year old Lindsey Mucklow who is suffering from Turner's Syndrome, which is a rare growth retarding disease; condemns the lack of consistent treatment with necessary growth hormone for Lindsey Mucklow, due to cash shortages in the South Tees Health Authority area; demands an immediate commitment from the Secretary of State for Health that the growth hormone which children like Lindsey need will not be restricted in availability under the future trust status of South Cleveland through underfunding; and urges the provision of this treatment at the earliest possible time where children are diagnosed with this condition.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
