What the petition asks
Every year hundreds of people loose their lives to this horrific condition. In order to work towards eradicating this disease we need to fund research and keep records of the number of people suffering each year.
The HPA does not keep records of NF cases unlike Scotland.
37000 people die of Sepsis each year and until we force the HPA to keep records we will never know how many of these sepsis deaths were caused by NF.
Don't let this condition become the countries biggest killer without even knowing it.
