The Petition

We are people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) who want these illness (Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis) to be recognised as Long Term Illnesses under the Long Term Illness Scheme ran by the Health Service Executive (HSE).

We are requesting the Minister for Health Mary Harney to amend Section 59 of the 1970 Health Act to include IBD as an eligible condition.

The Long Term Illness Scheme (LTI) would enable patients with IBD to get the drugs for the condition for free, something we feel is a right and a necessity that should be an automatic entitlement.

Thank You for taking the time to sign the petition!!
