Increase funding for Botox treatment for Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction on NHS
Various world-renowned gastroenterologists have been supporting patients who suffer with the debilitating condition of Sphincter of Oddi Dysfuncrion. (SOD) by using Botox to paralyse the sphincter.
We want the Government to support the use of Botox by increasing the NHS funding to treat the condition and save the lives of patients who live with the debilitating condition. Many may have considered no longer living as the only alternative to living with a poorly managed condition. A lack of support to treat this could increase the strain on the NHS by 1000’s more people making monthly/ weekly trips to A&E, pain clinics who don’t understand and can’t manage SOD, and metal health support which already can take years to reach.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
