Northern Ireland Assembly candidates supporting Manifesto for Muscle
Northern Ireland Assembly candidates have been adding their support for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign's Manifesto for Muscle: Six Steps to Fight Muscle Disease in Northern Ireland before today's elections.
We have been calling on the Prospective Northern Ireland Assembly Candidates in your constituency to sign up to the pledges in our manifesto and to join candidates who have already lent their support to the fight against muscle disease.
The manifesto of six key pledges calls on candidates to support the campaign to improve access to services, which includes tackling the lack of specialist physiotherapy and the need for increased care and support.
