Rejected petition Free prescriptions for ALL Life Saving Drugs
More details
I am calling for the Government to add the conditions which require life long use of ALL Life Saving Drugs such as Anticoagulants, Asthma inhalers, Insulin to the medical exemption conditions list so people with any life threatening conditions can get FREE NHS prescriptions for the medication required.
At present only certain life saving drugs can be got free and I feel that it is unfair to say that certain items such as insulin are free and Warfarin is to be paid for.
