Asthma UK has called on the Government to freeze the cost of prescriptions in England until 2015.
As many people with long-term conditions use Prescription Prepayment Certificates (PPCs) to spread the cost of their medicines and save money, the charity is also calling for the Government to continue last year’s freeze on the cost of PPCs until 2015.
Finally, it wants the Government to work towards making prescriptions free for people with long-term medical conditions in the future.
The petition is available at http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/25087.
Asthma UK leads the Prescription Charges Coalition, which is made up of 24 charities and has been campaigning for a number of years for free prescriptions for people with long-term medical conditions.
