This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Adult incontinence products
More details
Many sick people who suffer from incontinence are not provided with enough or even suitable incontinence products for their needs
for example my mum was only allowed 3 pads per day (how many times do you go to the loo, more than three times a day I bet) and the highest absorbency allowed for mum couldnt cope with one average wee
I also had to choose between pads or bedpads for mum she needed both but was not allowed
cost is the reason and I dont think this is right
sick people should be provided with what they need not only to maintain their dignity but to help prevent pressure sores/skin breakdown and help those of us who look after our loved ones
its not right that people are expected to spend hours in wet/soiled pads ect.
