Rejected petition Make scoliosis screening compulsory in the UK
Rejected on
Many children and teens in the UK are suffering from scoliosis and have to receive surgery for it. If scoliosis screening is compulsory then they can find out that they have it earlier so it can be treated before it becomes so severe that surgery is the only answer.
