Make the UK HSCT for MS and Autoimmune Diseases available via NHS to all MS

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

I am an MS patient and I would like to be part of the existing research program available at the Shefield hospital, however the qualification criteria is very high and difficult to be accepted.

1) Sheffield HAVE to follow the strict trial criteria, otherwise it would not be a valid trial. But is it fair they are limiting themselves to partaking in a USA led trial?

2) Availability for HSCT in London, seems to be closed to Scottish people due to the devolved NHS. Is that fair?

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The decision about which patients can take part in this study is not taken by the Government or Parliament. You can find out more here:
