Borg to consult on possible narcolepsy research
European Health Commissioner Tonio Borg is set to discuss with Máire Geoghegan-Quinn the possibility of funding of research narcolepsy.
Borg will consult with the European Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science after an EU-wide group representing at least 1,000 victims met with the European Health Commissioner in Brussels. The group are advocating research for treatments, as well as to raise awareness and promote best practice in managing the condition. Gathering data on those affected is also thought to be a priority.
Borg said he would discuss with Geoghegan-Quinn how money could be used from the Health programme and how data could also be collected.
