The Hospital Saturday Fund has donated £5,000 the Motor Neurone Disease Association(
MNDA).

The donation was received by Lembit Opik to MP Lembit Opik, President of MDNA, who
said: “Every penny of the money given by HSF will be matched by the Government. 
So, in effect, this is a £10,000 contribution to the search for a cure”.

The Hospital Saturday Fund was founded in 1873 to allow workers to give towards 
the upkeep of their local hospitals. After the formation of the NHS, the Fund evolved
into a health cash plan (HSF health plan), which reimburses contributors up to 100%
of costs for everyday healthcare expenses such as optical and dental checks.

HSF health plan is the not-for-profit trading subsidiary of the The Hospital Saturday
Fund. It channels surplus funds back into the community via the Hospital Saturday
Fund Charitable Trust, which makes donations to a wide range of health-related causes,
such as hospitals, hospices and medical charities.
