Welcoming the launch of the Northern Ireland Rare Diseases Action Plan 2022/23

This action plan sets out 14 key Actions for development during 2022/23.  Many of these actions have been driven and / or informed by multidisciplinary research conducted directly in partnership with local rare disease communities.
