Speak to your MP about prescription charges

With your help we can win the fight to secure an exemption from prescription charges for everyone living with a long-term condition in England.

Last year we invited all English Members of Parliament (MPs) to attend a briefing in Parliament, so they could speak to people who are impacted by the charge.

Ask to meet your MP
We now need to get the message out to every MP we can across England, so we're encouraging anyone living with a long-term condition to speak to your MP.

Through lobbying your MP, you have the power to make real change.

Our guide will tell you everything you need to know about effectively engaging your MP on prescription charges.

Laura Cockram, Chair of the Coalition and Head of Campaigns at Parkinson's UK commented:
"MPs really respond to an individual's personal experiences, which is why it's so important that as many people as possible ask to meet their MP. The guide we've produced shares information, stats and tools you'll need to make a meeting with your MP successful. The vital ingredient is your personal experience though!
​
"We'd love to end the year with as many of the 543 English MPs understanding the impact of the charge on those living with long-term conditions and vowing to take action to support our campaign. And don't forget to let us know how the meeting with your MP goes."
