Closed on

Petition to develop and fund Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy surgery in the United Kingdom.

Too many families are forced to raise in excess of £40,000 to go to America for a private operation that is available on the NHS and is PROVEN to dramatically change the child's life forever.

I would like this to be brought to the government's attention, yet again and action to be taken in looking after our own UK citizens. Taxpayers would rather their money spent on helping improve children's lives.
