Increased funding for treatment of long covid and other chronic conditions

Closed 53 signatures

What the petition asks

Debilitating conditions such as long covid, ME, fibromyalgia and Lyme disease, desperately need research and funding. Many sufferers are left in limbo without any potential treatment options available. This has to change and funds need to be made to help professionals find suitable treatments.
As we approach the year anniversary of the UK going into lockdown, it’s time to give the huge amount of people who have been affected by these conditions the life they deserve with suitable treatment options.
