Interview with Seema Malhotra, Labour MP for Feltham and Heston, on 'rare diseases'.
Malhotra spoke up in Parliament about a rare disease associated with low immune issues that a constituent of hers suffers from, after using medication used to treat Multiple Sclerosis. Malhotra hopes that NHS England will change policy on medication for rare disease, Sones points out that the Health Minister did not give way to Malhotra's idea. However, there was discussion about a new strategy for rare diseases, hopefully allowing the NHS to react to diseases outside of the mainstream. Sones and Malhotra discuss how this and the Domestic Abuse Bill is Parliament working at its best, as 'Brexit' has created a fractious environment.
