Make congenital heart defect a registered disability

Closed 278 signatures

What the petition asks

Many babies each year are born with heart defects, these babies face many tests, procedures and surgeries throughout there lives. As an adult with a congenital heart defect I'm facing increasing problems but there's a lack of support as heart conditions aren't a recognised disability.
