ALS 24/7 Care in Spain

Spain adds a III+ level of extreme dependency to guarantee 24-hour, specialized care for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), with up to €10,000 a month for caregivers (five per patient). Catalonia says delays have left patients without benefits and with unmet equipment and staffing needs; officials plan to speed up rules and tap EU funds to expand support through the new criteria.
