Jesy Nelson criticizes the UK government for delaying approval of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) testing for all UK-born babies. In her appearance on ITV’s This Morning, Nelson says the process has taken longer than it should have and that it “shouldn’t have taken” her to draw attention to the issue. She characterizes the delay as something that has been ongoing for years. The reports focus on her view that testing should already be available broadly rather than requiring public advocacy to move things forward. The outlets provide limited additional details on the government’s position, the timeline of approvals, or the status of the policy change. Overall, they present Nelson’s comments as a response to the continuing delay and emphasize her call for faster implementation so that all UK-born babies can access SMA screening.
