Submitted by pauline forrester – Deadline to sign up by: 25 December 2007 – Signatures: 745
Currently treatment is provided free in some areas of the uk and not in others. This is totally unfair as children born with a port wine stain with suffer the stigma, and psychological problems documented in the medical press all over the uk. Port wine stains if left untreated get darker, being raised and bumpy and bleed easily. Pulse dye laser is readily available if only all Primary care trusts agree that it is not for cosmetic reason only.
