What the petition asks
A new treatment, Palforzia, helps to reduce the severity of reactions to peanuts, including anaphylaxis. It is extremely difficult to access this through the NHS, and we want the Government to fund increased access to Palforzia through the NHS, to reduce risks to people with peanut allergies.
My son suffers from a severe peanut allergy, and we fear him going into anaphylactic shock if he is exposed to peanuts via consumption or airborne by no fault of our own. We carry epi-pens around with us where ever we go. There are so many people in the same situation. Peanut allergies can make holidays abroad, eating places, sleep overs, parties much more difficult for sufferers.
Palforzia costs thousands of pounds through private healthcare. We want the Government to provide funding so it can be made more widely available through the NHS.
