Rejected petition abolish presciption charges for Heart disease

More details

People with long term Heart Disease who are within the 18-60 age group are often having to pay in excess of £50 a month for medicines to simply keep them alive. I suggest as one the UK's biggest killers the government must look at changing the charging system to include Heart Disease as one of the exempt groups.
