Fund free access to weight loss meds for disabled people & lipoedema sufferers
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.
