Closed Extend free prescriptions to everyone who has a mental health condition

Closed on

We want the Government to extend free prescription eligibility to include everyone who has a mental health condition, so they do not have to pay for any medication they may need.

Many people who suffer from a mental health condition (ie. ADHD, Depression, etc.) require medication to help support their condition and everyday life. Extending the free prescription eligibility should ensure that people can access any medication they need, and help prevent unnecessary harm to themselves and others. This could reduce the number of people with mental health conditions who go into crisis or need to be sectioned.
