70% Informative
Elaine Fraser collapsed at home after drinking a ginger beer.
She had no idea she had an allergy and began to suffer from anaphylactic shock.
Elaine's life was saved because of a change to the law in 2017 allowing schools to stock and administer adrenaline pens .
Many campaigners and medics want it to be extended beyond schools.
The UK has one of the highest rates of allergy in the world.
The National Allergy Strategy group will publish the strategy in October 2025 .
Professor Adam Fox , chairman of the National Strategy for Allergy , said he thought people simply did not know about the scheme.
He added that policy makers needed to consider whether better access to adrenaline pens could help keep allergy sufferers safe.
