Free prescriptions for people with heart conditions.

Petition Details

Heart disease affects 2.3 million people in the uk and is one of the biggest killers, yet heart patients still have to pay for medication. Persciptions should be free for all heart patients.

Additional Information

The Coalition has published a report examining the impact of prescription charges on people with long term health conditions in England. The findings highlighted that charging for medication is making it more difficult for people to manage their conditions effectively, leading to more severe health problems and extra costs to the NHS and society as a whole.

Living with a heart condition has a severe impact of an persons life, and having to pay for medication only adds to the problem.
