Petition to make B12 ampoules Available over the counter?

[RiskiestEnd]

There are no current petitions that I can find on this (and I’m sure it would have been done before) but is anyone interested in starting one? If so please let me know as apparently need five email addresses to start the petition petition.parliament.uk/peti...

I believe that this petition is still live, though the health minster concerned has changed

change.org/p/ian-hudson-ple...

[RiskiestEnd in reply to Gambit62]

Thanks. I did look at that one however the initial signatures look to be quite old. Plus Change.org is an American for profit organisation. Whereas if the petition above is released on the government petition site (its currently being reviewed for publishing) and it gets 10,000 signatures, the government has to respond 😊

[Gambit62 Administrator in reply to RiskiestEnd]

the platform may be provided by an american organisation but it is widely used around the world - there are many petitions on it specific to the UK.

The petition was started by a UK campaigner.

[RiskiestEnd in reply to Gambit62]

Yes I totally understand that, however the government does not have to respond to any of them hence the platform I chose.

This is Tracey Witty's petition, I think if we really want results we perhaps ought to stand with her. b12deficiency.info

[fbirder in reply to shelly2shoes]

What's wrong with having two petitions running simultaneously?

[shelly2shoes in reply to fbirder]

Absolutely nothing

Thank you - signed

I would but will have to wait until it is "approved"

[shelly2shoes]

I would like to think that anyone wishing to sing the petition will back Tracey's hard work over the years, this is her passion, standing up for NHS patients for many years. Literally saving long term disabilities & lives.

[RiskiestEnd in reply to shelly2shoes]

Surely we are all in this to get something done so why does anyone have to chose one over the other?? Surely if we all support both petitions we have a higher chance of success.

[shelly2shoes in reply to RiskiestEnd]

It's not a case of one over another, if I were signing for the first time, it just makes more sense to sign the one that has had so many years of experience on the difficulty of NHS patients struggle to not only receive a correct diagnosis but to also have created a one stop website for so many patients that are lost & have no idea where to turn. It has already been accepted & recognised as a very valuable petition.

[RiskiestEnd in reply to shelly2shoes]

Whilst I appreciate your opinion I personally think it makes sense to sign both. The more petitioning for change the higher chances of success.

[Foggyme Administrator in reply to shelly2shoes]

Shelly2shoes...just a thought...makes sense for folks to sign both petitions...and many people here have already signed the petition to which you refer...and would do so many times over if it were allowed.

👍

[shelly2shoes in reply to Foggyme]

No problem, if I could have signed it, I would have.

[Foggyme Administrator in reply to RiskiestEnd]

Agree RiskiestEnd...signatures on both petitions equally valuable...and as I said to shelly2shoes , many here have already signed the petition to which she refers (it's been doing the rounds repeatedly for some time) 😉😀

[shelly2shoes]

Believe me, I want this to be available OTC just as much as any of us, once this petition is up & going, I will sign & share, for sure.

[witchcat43]

Tried to sign but it says the page doesn’t exist 😢

[jonnylongton]

signed and shared.
