Shine NI Calls on Assembly to take ACTION!

The Spina bifida • Hydrocephalus • Information • Networking • Equality - SHINE, Northern Ireland team work with individuals and families to ensure those with spina bifida and hydrocephalus has access to the right services, support and information to help manage the conditions and lead more fulfilling lives.

Now, Shine NI is urgently calling on the Northern Ireland Assembly to take decisive action to ensure that awareness is raised about the need for women to start taking folic acid before they become pregnant, and thus protect thousands of future Northern Ireland citizens from the loss of life and permanent disability that results from neural tube defects.
