Rejected petition: Make sanitary pads free for those with gynaecological conditions

Rejected on

I want the government to act upon this by making an exception card for those with gynaecological conditions eg. womb cancer, endometriosis etc. Endometriosis causes menstrual cycles to be extended like 14 days this causes pads to be bought on a regular basis I want women to feel supported.
