Petition The NHS should provide free sanitary products for anyone

I would like the government to ensure all NHS hospitals hand out free sanitary products to those who ask for them

More details

The NHS currently hands out free condoms to any person. I understand promoting safe sex, however “period poverty” in my opinion should be held to at least the same priority. I understand the NHS gives free sanitary products to patients however to my knowledge that is were it stops. It is my belief that sex is a luxury and therefore so are condoms. Those struggling with money should not have to struggle to acquire necessary products such as pads or tampons.
