Provide funding for surgical correction of Pectus Excavatum

Closed 1,141 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the Government to provide funding for surgical correction of Pectus Excavatum on the NHS, following the decision by NHS England not to include it in its commissioning policy.
Because my 10-year old son was born with Pectus Excavatum and has suffered for years with symptoms that are gradually worsening.
