Petition Action

Make NHS must fund a life changing procedures for Gastroparesis patients.

Petition Details

My friend Nat 31 had a non-curable disease called Gastroparesis as well as EDS and P.O.T.S. for 8 years. Medication and feeding tubes have failed her and now the NHS are failing her with a simple hour procedure to have a pacemaker fitted to help regulate her stomach.

Additional Information

It costs the NHS more money to provide a bed, medication (which doesn't work) and feeding tubes which her body refuses. To have a Enterra stomach Pacemaker fitted costs privately between 10-20 thousand pounds. There is no comparison when someone's quality of life is at stake.

Please please please help. Let's get this to parliament.
