Carla Lockhart MP

Our Champions

I am delighted to support Allergy UK’s Patient Charter, and be named as a champion. Allergies affect thousands of people across the UK, and it is high time we took allergy seriously to ensure that the right provision is available at the right time, supporting those who desperately need it.
