Reinstate govt funding for the supply of blood test strips for Diabetes.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like to highlight the government removing the subsidy for blood test strips. Diabetics need very frequent blood testing 5+ times a day. The cost of strips is £70.00 outcome reduced blood glucose testing and more hospital admissions from hyper or hypo glycemic Diabetes . . .

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The UK Government doesn't appear to have announced a withdrawal of funding for the supply of blood test strips. We think you may be referring to a recent announcement made by the Australian Government. We are therefore not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
