What the petition asks
People with epilepsy are not getting the right care and root cause.diagnoses quick enough through the current NHS system.
The NICE.guidance needs to be looked at and changed to meet the needs of people with epilepsy.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because changing the guidance would be the responsibility of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could start a new petition calling for more funding or an awareness campaign around diagnosis and care for people with epilepsy.
