Item of business
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Awareness Month
Yes, absolutely. I hope that we can hear something more on that tonight.
In closing, I am keen to put on the record my thanks to Burning Nights, CRPS UK and others for raising awareness, providing invaluable support and education and spearheading much-needed research into CRPS. I also thank Clare Adamson for bravely sharing her family experience of CRPS and for bringing the syndrome to my attention. I hope that the debate will bring CRPS to the attention of many other people.
