We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Make people with hyperthyroidism eligible for free prescriptions.
Currently people diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) must pay for prescriptions for the medication they need. If they do not take medication to suppress thyroid activity they may die. They also need medicine to counter the effect of hyperthyroidism on the heart.
More details
People with hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or those who have had their thyroid removed and are on Levothyroxine are exempt from prescription costs. Making those with hyperthyroidism exempt as well will correct this unfair difference in their treatment.
This petition is closed All petitions run for 6 months
