Change the reduction in continence products

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

Look into the reduction of continence products. The reduction in the prescription of these medical devices have been deemed inhuman and utterly ridiculous. Many people (children and adults) use more than 4 pads in a 24 hr period
There are many laws and acts that are being broken with the reduction of a necessary medical device, especially that of the basic human rights. Many people have to be changed several times a day and by reducing said devices, we are left with a lot of issue that will arise from this. One of those issues include neglect of personal hygiene. This can lead to serious health conditions, therefore, opening the doors for further issues arising as to why they person wasnt changed
