That this House welcomes the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Muscular Dystrophy's publication Access to Specialist Neuromuscular Care: The Walton Report; is deeply concerned about the vulnerability of services for people with muscular dystrophy and related neuromuscular conditions in many parts of the UK; notes the urgent need to address gaps in service provision; expresses the hope that the recommendations put forward in the report will be implemented; calls for regional specialised commissioning groups to follow the lead of the South West and the West Midlands and conduct an urgent review of services; and further calls on the Department of Health, the National Specialised Commissioning Group and regional specialised commissioning groups to work with families living with muscle disease, health professionals and the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign to improve access to specialist care.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs.
