Closed 387 signatures

What the petition asks

Vitamin B12 Deficiency is a condition in its own right yet most can’t get a diagnosis or treatment on the NHS

Every British adult should be tested to determine B12 levels so early detection can save further unnecessary treatment

Left untreated B12 deficiency does destroy lives
Royal United Hospital Bath issued guidelines for the investigation and management of vitamin B12 deficiency and drew attention to the increase in the number of tests they were having to do, often without signs of haematological, neurological & gastrointestinal problems.
