Mary Hapgood says a non-invasive treatment for essential tremor is 'magic'.

A Surrey woman who underwent ultrasound treatment for a neurological condition that left her struggling to eat or drink has hailed the procedure as "magic".

An NHS spokesperson said two centres which had been commissioned to provide the treatment would "provide sufficient capacity to meet national demand". Eating and drinking became highly stressful because she could not get her hand to her face without shaking. "I don't need to polish my knife or get my scalpel out... but I'm still going deep into the brain in a very precise way minimising the risks and improving patient outcomes," he said.
