Rejected petition Allow access to Epipens withought having to fax a prescription to the supplier.

I think this is a very important issue as people with fatal allergies can’t receive life saving devices when needed. Epipens are very useful because they carry adrenaline which when injected into someone having an anaphylactic shock can help them survive long enough for an ambulance to arrive.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We understand you want to ease access to epipens but we're not sure if you want to remove requirements on pharmacies or on patients. We're also not sure if you want to remove other requirements or just a requirement to fax prescriptions.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

There are already petitions about access to epipens, which you might like to sign. You're more likely to get action on an issue if you sign and share a single petition.
