Allergy UK’s 2024 Election Manifesto Calls
With the UK having one of the highest incidences of allergy in the world, our manifesto aims to create a more equitable system with more timely, accurate and effective patient care.
Why your vote matters
Allergies affect over 20 million people in the UK, impacting daily life, health, and wellbeing. This general election is a critical opportunity to influence policies that will improve the quality of life for those with allergies. From healthcare access and food labelling to funding for allergy research, the decisions made by our elected representatives can have a profound impact. Your vote can help shape a more allergy-aware future.
