Dear Prime Minister (which one?)

There is a petition on the 10 Downing Street website:

We, the undersigned, petition the Prime Minister to give his personal assurance to British Kidney Cancer Patients that the newly licensed and approved drugs; Sutent (sunitinib) & Nexavar (sorafenib) will be made available to Kidney Cancer patients throughout the United Kingdom on prescription and fully funded by "our" NHS. Kidney Cancer is notoriously difficult to treat, the standard cancer treatments of chemotherapy/ radiation therapy are not effective against Kidney Cancer (Renal cell Carcinoma). Leading cancer consultants agree that Sutent & Nexavar represent the first real advance in treatment for a hitherto almost untreatable cancer

Currently the petition has more signatures than the one to reward Health Service Workers with an inflationary pay rise - and fewer than the one to make Jeremy Clarkson Prime Minister.
