MS? We don't know


JUST spotted Multiple Sclerosis Society chief executive Simon Gillespie (Col A 70-77) on the TV news, reacting to a survey that says four out of ten people can't name a single symptom of MS and the same number think it ends inevitably in a wheelchair. Only one in four knows it can strike in your twenties or thirties.

Simon's a former Royal Navy officer who previously held senior posts at the Healthcare Commission and the Charity Commission.
