What the petition asks

I have a daughter with cystic fibrosis who has this awful disease for the rest of her life, doctors have found a new drug that helps the mucus thin and more easy to pass, mucus being the main factor of the disease, but the government will not make this drug available as it is too expensive

But they will make methadone available for the use of heroin addicts. Heroin addicts who choose to take this drug, methadone costs the NHS 1billion a year, these drugs that will help cystic fibrosis patients dramatically cost a mere 80million more than methadone. Thanks
