Genetic Haemochromatosis APPG

First Registered: 13/02/2019 • Last updated on: 28/03/2025

The groups' mission is to (a) raise parliamentary awareness and public understanding of Genetic Haemochromatosis (GH), its prevalence and implications; (b) drive policy change to improve the welfare of GH patients across the UK; (c) influence ministers, parliamentarians, government bodies, policy-makers and NHS representatives to improve patient pathways through the UK healthcare and support systems.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
