Rejected petition Reinstate govt funding for the supply of blood test strips for Diabetes.

I would like to highlight the government removing the subsidy for blood test strips. Diabetics need very frequent blood testing 5+ times a day. The cost of strips is £70.00 outcome reduced blood glucose testing and more hospital admissions from hyper or hypo glycemic Diabetes . . .

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.

The UK Government doesn't appear to have announced a withdrawal of funding for the supply of blood test strips. We think you may be referring to a recent announcement made by the Australian Government. We are therefore not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
