Wigs are a source of help for Alopecia where many people simply cannot start to attempt to leave their homes without one. This is not a choice it is a necessity.

We want to see it as standard that every person should be able to access a wig from the NHS. This is not cosmetic it is an essential item of support for Alopecia patients.
