This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about what prescriptions to make are a matter for individual clinicians, not the UK Government or Parliament, but we have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
Fund free prescriptions for alternative milks for people with allergies: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/621802
We can't accept petitions calling on the Government to pay for specific brands of supplements, but could accept a petition calling on the Government to fund prescriptions for lactase supplement for people with allergies, if that's what you want to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
