Teenager pleads with Matt Hancock to make life-changing drugs available to adults

Now drama student Lily Wood, 19, has penned an emotional letter to Health Secretary Matt Hancock urging him to intervene. She wrote: Are you aware of any drug other than Kuvan that is taken away from the patient when they reach 18? I certainly can t. All of my life I have been on a highly restrictive low protein diet where I cannot eat meat, fish, eggs, dairy, pulses, and even some fruit and vegetables are restricted. If PKU sufferers don t follow this diet the side effects are immense. Depression, confusion, memory loss, anxiety, motor skills and hospitalisation. Patients with type 2 diabetes could be treated with a Mediterranean diet, yet NICE doesn t take their insulin away.
