Our Immediate Needs
THE POST POLIO SUPPORT GROUP would like to see
- The establishment by the Department of Health and Children of neuromuscular
multi-disciplinary centres of excellence in the diagnosis, management
and treatment of Post Polio Syndrome.
- The inclusion of Polio in the Long Term Illness Scheme,
which would increase the number of medical benefits available to Polio
Survivors.
- Medical Cards as of right, to those diagnosed with Post Polio Syndrome.
- Comprehensive assistance to modify homes to improve accessibility
- Grants for Polio Survivors to meet the cost of living, particularly
in relation to heating and transport costs
