Make anti reflux and comfort baby formula milk available on prescription.
Make anti reflux formula milk available on the prescription or at the least subsidise it so it is the same cost as regular formula. Regular formula can be purchased for as little as £8 whereas anti reflux milk costs around £16!!
With the rising cost of baby formula and the increase added for anti reflux milk it should be available on prescription. Reflux is a medical condition that is vital for some babies in keeping milk down and thus nutrition. Without it they would become malnutritioned and face extreme pain.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about prescriptions are a matter for individual clinicians and NHS Trusts, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to provide vouchers to subsidise the cost of anti-reflux baby formula, if that's what you want to happen.
