The NHS is moving away from prescribing salbutamol due to environmental concerns, but the new recommended alternatives such as Fostair are significantly more expensive for patients paying out of pocket and often come with a short shelf life, making them even less accessible. No one should be forced to ration their medication or risk their health because of cost.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2025-07-17T10:56:03.011Z","updated_at":"2025-08-06T16:13:01.624Z","rejected_at":"2025-08-06T16:12:52.695Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2025-07-17T11:12:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a similar action: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/726704"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
