Lord Philip Hunt has secured a slot at the Open Questions session in House of Lords tomorrow - Preventing Clinical Commissioning Groups denying thyroid patients access to the drug Liothyronine (T3) for the treatment of hypothyroidism.
This will raise the issue of access to liothyronine (T3) as the prescribing of liothyronine continues to be a postcode lottery and this must change.
Lyn Mynott will be attending after a meeting with Lord Hunt.
The session starts at 3pm and you can watch it here:
Just felt I needed to say that I hope your meeting etc goes well tomorrow and thank you 🙏🏻
Good Luck!
do hope that the current political shenanigans won't be a distraction from the very important topic of the post code lottery for liothyronine prescriptions.
Well done Lyn and the team -bad luck on timing -but at least it’s on the list and that’s an excellent start -fingers crossed
Thank you Lyn. It's been suggested on this forum in the past, and again recently, that I need T3 as I'm a poor converter. The reason that holds me back from better health?
The fear of:
a) not being able to reliably source it
b) not being able to continue once started, thus risking making my health even worse.
This would make such a massive difference to so many people with a Thyroid condition. Do you have any idea how it went?
The debate session starts at 3pm today
The debate session starts at 3pm today....i shall tear myself away from larry the cats twitter page to watch lord hunt ... thankyou for the heads up.
Hope it’s gone well Lyn. Well done.
Excellent discussion from everyone that took part and let's hope it will filter through as hoped. Well Done.
Unfortunately I missed it - is there anywhere else can listen to it? Hope it went well Lyn.
Just follow the link in Lyn's original post. The video stream has a time bar along the bottom. I have not yet listened/watched it but I think it starts around 15:06. Use your mouse to slide the bar or click on the little "circles" to jump 10 second, 1 or 5 minutes - forwards or back.
I expect lynmynott will update everyone when she can?
