NHS Pain Relief Injections Stopped
Continue to fund pain relief injections on the NHS
Why is this important?
I am begging people to get behind this campaign.My sister who has a spinal degenerative disease and needs regular pain killing injections in order to function has received a letter from the NHS in Blackburn that funding has been refused for ongoing treatment. She is certainly no alone, and there could be many other people affected by this decision. She has had to pay 864.00GBP in order to get a pain killing injection from her specialist today. What is going on? This is not a cosmetic face lift or botox, we are talking about a pain killing injection that is necessary for her to function. Please help me to expose what is happening to innocent people, many of whom are not in a position to pay. They are being referred back to their GP's who are going to be overwhelmed with patients needing this care. Please help. xxx
I am not only fighting for this treatment for my sister but to all the other patients who have received similar letters advising them that their treatment is no longer available.
