Prescription Charges Coalition members have written to the leaders of the Conservative and Labour parties ahead of the election urging them to commit to reviewing the exemption list.
Lib Dem commitment
​On Monday (10 June) the Liberal Democrats committed to reviewing the exemption list if elected in their manifesto.
Coalition letter
The letter, that was signed by over 20 members of the Coalition sets out the case for the new government to review the outdated and unfair exemption list - that sees people with asthma, sickle cell, HIV, Cystic Fibrosis, Parkinson's, Crohn's and Colitis, heart, lung and kidney disease pa for their vital medication to keep them alive and well.
We'll post any responses we receive!
Doorstep chat with your candidate
In the meantime if an election candidate knocks on your door why don't you ask them:
  • Whether their party will commit to review the prescription exemption list?
  • What action their party will take to ensure people with long-term conditions get the medicines they need to stay healthy and well? 
If your candidate does respond to your questions, please let us know:
  • which constituency you live in
  • which party the candidate was from
  • what the candidate said.

There is a common consensus from patients with crohns and Colitis that prescription charges must be exempt from paying for essential medication in order to combat their condition on a daily basis. I will be in touch with the new Health and Social care Secretary in due course.
