🧵Only 1 in 5 of the NHS Mental Health Trusts in England & Health Boards in Wales contacted by the BBC say they provide at least one specialist in tic disorders, including #TouretteSyndrome
Join Naga Munchetty, Aidy Smith, Joe Black, plus TikTok-er Holly-Anne Maria from 11am for a special guest edit show about Tourette’s. Tourette's syndrome is a condition that causes a person to make involuntary sounds and movements called tics.
