MS Central Districts seeks support in their endeavours to get the MidCentral DHB to continue providing a comprehensive rehab service people for people under-65. MidCentral DHB has now indicated that bed numbers are likely to be reduced from twelve to 6 at Palmerston North Hospital, and a change in focus for the 24 rehab beds at Levin with a corresponding reduction in staff, provides a real fear that the in-patient service for under-65s will be removed altogether. People with Multiple Sclerosis - and other conditions - require rehab beds and staff to aid their recovery from relapses, help them get back on their feet and provide them with a temporary alternative to having to be admitted into rest homes. Please help us to continue to provide rehabilitation care for under-65s by signing this petition.
