Motion text

That this House acknowledges that Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is a serious and potentially chronic disease which is becoming more widespread across the United Kingdom; notes the growing body of evidence which suggests patients with the disease are frequently subject to misdiagnosis and under-treatment; is concerned that the disease appears to be under-reported and inadequately investigated; and calls upon the Government to put in place a national strategy for reducing the growing toll of ill-health caused by this disease, including the development of clinical guidelines specific to the UK for the use of all medical professionals dealing with patients with this disease.
