Migraine Care: 10-year Health Plan

Contribution

My Lords, migraine as a symptom is a manifestation of a whole spectrum of different diseases, both neurological and vascular, and some are based on allergies. The important aspect of treating migraines is correct diagnosis, and advances in diagnostic techniques, including some of the treatments that the Minister mentioned, are now making that easier. Does she agree that, in addition to having a community-based service, it is important to train the right people to make the right diagnoses, so that patients can get the right treatment at the right time, no matter who dispenses or prescribes it?
