Fund breast reductions on medical grounds for all women on the NHS

Closed 54 signatures

What the petition asks

Breast reduction should be free for women who suffer in their everyday life due to large breasts. They can cause sever back/neck pain and difficulty breathing. This can lead to problems later on in life. It can affect every aspect of your day to day activities. Making you work harder to breathe.
Breast reduction is not always available on the NHS and so many women over the years have been denied it over and over again and most women can’t afford to go privately. This is unfair as breast reduction are for medical reasons and should be free.
