I can perfectly understand Margaret Abela's concern of (The Sunday Times, June 14). My daughter, like hers, suffers from MS. Like her, I know that this condition causes a lot of stress and anxiety; but unlike her, we have not found the help of the MS Society.

Ms Abela wrote that she is certain that the society will help if one finds a problem with the physiotherapist. Perhaps Ms Abela writes from experience. In her letter, she refers to the use of the services of "physiotherapists"; the use of the plural implies that she changed physiotherapists. Does this imply that she was allowed to change the physiotherapist assigned to her and then use the services of physiotherapist of her choice? On top of that her fees are heavily subsidised.

This 'privilege' is being refused to my daughter who wishes to use the services of the same physiotherapist that Ms Abela uses for her daughter. This person is one of the three physiotherapists who already works for the MS Society. A prominent member of the society told me that this physiotherapist was a very good choice.

On top of the stress and anxiety that MS causes, my daughter has to pay two-and-a-half times what Ms Abela pays for the services of the same physiotherapist. No wonder, then, that Ms Abela is happy. Good luck to her. I only ask that my daughter receives the same kind of help that Ms Abela and other members of the society receive.

This looks like a case of two weights and two measures.
