"does this NHS funding have anything that's clearly beneficial to us right now?"
What funding? The benefit as I see it is the acknowledgment by the British agency that they consider the use of MRI guided laser treatment of epilepsy to be a viable methodology and they expect to see its first use in the UK next year. The benefit to "us" is mostly spiritual :o)
