Summary
New South Wales is now mandating doctors to report every motor neurone disease diagnosis — including location and occupation — into a new state registry, a major step toward unlocking critical data on this devastating, incurable condition that steals movement, speech, and breath. With 250 expected deaths this year and most cases linked to environmental or occupational triggers, this registry could finally help scientists pinpoint causes and develop treatments — especially in hotspots like Griffith, where families have long campaigned for answers. After years of advocacy and new government funding, this data-driven push marks a turning point in the fight against MND. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
