Closed petition Patients will be unable to access homoeopathic medicines in the UK.

Closed on 23 May 2013

I'm deeply concerned a draft proposal set out by the M.H.R.A. as part of its consolidation and review of the Medicines Act 1968 could have a significant impact on my ability as a patient to access homoeopathic medicines in the UK..

If not revised the proposal would also have serious consequences for more than 2,000 homoeopathic practitioners, many of whom would find it impossible to treat patients like myself because they can no longer obtain the appropriate homoeopathic medicine.

I understand that a central plank of government health policy is to increase patient choice. Section 10 will eliminate choice for people like me who want to be treated with homoeopathy.

I would like to call on the Health Minister to revise slightly the proposed language of the revised Medicines Act to ensure that I have continued access to a full range of homoeopathic medicines and my right to choose homoeopathic treatment is maintained.
