Fund Spinraza for all SMA patients on the NHS

Petition Details

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a serious degenerative condition that can be treated with Spinraza. Yet NICE’s Managed Access Agreement for Spinraza means many SMA patients can't access it on the NHS. The Government, NHS England & NICE should make Spinraza available for all SMA patients.

Additional Information
