Make Multiple Chemical Sensitivity a recognised syndrome in the NHS, NICE & WHO.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The debilitating illness, MCS, needs to become a recognised syndrome/disease, whereby patients can get the appropriate care and medical assistance that they so desperately need, so that no more lives are lost as a result of it. Specialised doctors and odorless hospital quarters need to be available.
To save human lives.

Why it was rejected

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

This is a clinical matter for the NHS and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a petition calling on the Government to fund research into Multiple Chemical Sensitivity if that is something you'd like to happen.
