Hi there, My father is a PD sufferer living in Ireland (67/15+) and was told recently by his neurosurgeon that there is a new type of surgery available in the UK which seems to be successful, this is all the info I have. My father was also told that he was a good candidate as he was in good health (joke???) however the Irish health insurance bodies do not cover this treatment. Are there any UK PDs out there who know anything about this ? Una Una Markey ASTRO training Cisco Systems Paris Tel : (33) 01 69185232 email : [log in to unmask]
