Preseli Pembrokeshire AM, Paul Davies played 'spot the difference' in a game designed to highlight the hidden symptoms of multiple sclerosis, at the Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham. Mr Davies took 1:22 minutes to complete the challenge, which was provided by the MS Society to highlight how difficult it can be to recognise some of the most common and debilitating symptoms of MS.

Mr Davies said, "The MS Society's challenge was a fun way to make you think about a serious issue. I was surprised to learn how few people are aware of some of the most common symptoms of MS, including severe fatigue, problems with eyesight and cognitive issues. It's important to realise that even someone whose disability isn't easy to see may still need extra support."

Joseph Carter, spokesperson for MS Society Cymru, added: "We hear too often that people with MS who genuinely cannot work are failing benefits assessments, or do not meet the eligibility criteria, because their symptoms are difficult to identify or measure. This needs to change, and by highlighting the importance of this issue with AMs we hope they're able to help."
