Individual treatment for B12deficiency compulsory: not 4 injections annually

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

B12 is not part of a standard blood test.
Maintenance treatment is 4 injections annually. This protocol is inadequate for the majority of patients. Access to B12 (hydroxocobalamin and methylcobalamin needs to be re-evaluated) to help patients get their lives back from disabling symptoms.
