Malhotra spoke up in Parliament about a rare disease associated with low immune issues that a constituent of hers suffers from, after using medication used to treat Multiple Sclerosis. Malhotra hopes that NHS England will change policy on medication for rare disease, Sones points out that the Health Minister did not give way to Malhotra's idea.
