MS Care
Dr Chetna Kang and Sophie Sulehria focus on the quality of care for people with MS
Thousands of people with MS aren't getting adequate care because of a lack of specialist nurses.
There's about 100,000 people in the UK with MS but only 235 specialist nurses.
Monday 27th April 2015 is the start of MS awareness week and the MS Trust based in Letchworth launch a campaign to highlight the problem.
This week we'll find out about the quality of MS care in the three counties from the people who give it and those who get it.
