Data on the number of people diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) is not collected. However, it is estimated that there are about 5,000 people living with MND in the United Kingdom.
Information regarding the number of people with MND who are using ‘eye gaze' technology, a type of specialised augmentative and assistive communication aid, is not held centrally.
