Closed Free prescriptions for people suffering with Crohns Disease and Colitis.

Closed on

I was diagnosed with Crohns Disease in February 2019. Within this time due to the incurable Autoimmune Disease, I have had a to take a lot of time off work and suffered with extreme pains. Also with the added pressure of prescribed medication, my aim is to get this petition to parliament.

Did you know Crohns and Colitis is an incurable Autoimmune Disease? Did you know this Inflammatory Bowl Disease affects more than 300,000 people in the UK and the number is rising. Depression and Anxiety are also linked to people suffering with Crohns and colitis and i think it time for a change. Medical Exemption cards should be free with anyone suffering with this medical condition.
