Seeking NHS GP for desiccated thyroid prescription

I live in the East Midlands (Leicestershire) and our NHS Trust will NOT prescribe desiccated thryoid.

My health is declining rapidly, with auto-immunity issues as a result, can someone PLEASE help me find an NHS GP either in the Midlands or ANYWHERE in the UK, where I might be able to get a prescription for desiccated thryoid?

I would be VERY VERY VERY grateful!!!!

Thank for your help.
