We want the government to fund more weight loss medication on the NHS for those with limited mobility, disabled or those suffering with lipoedema. Those with lipoedema know that diet and exercise cannot cure it. However, weight management can help manage symptoms.

Subsidise private weight loss prescriptions to reduce obesity and health costs
Subsidise privately prescribed weight loss medications for people who cannot access them through the NHS, to help reduce long-term obesity-related health issues. We think this could promote fair access and reduce health inequalities.
Review NHS lipoedema care
We ask the Government review the NHS approach to diagnosis, referral and treatment of lipoedema. This should include GP training, access to conservative treatments, and clear pathways to specialist care.
Fund free prescriptions for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
We want the government to fund free prescriptions for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS is a condition that affects nerves in your central nervous system. It stays with you for life and is life changing.
Fund free bus passes for all carers of disabled people
Amend the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme, Transport Act 2000 and relevant legislation, and fund mandatory free bus passes for all carers of disabled people. There are disabled people who cannot travel without their carers and we think carers should be able to travel with them for free.
Fund free social care for all disabled people on the NHS
Pass a law which funds free social care on the NHS for all disabled people. We believe it’s wrong that we have to pay a certain amount to the local council despite care costs being so high for many.
