Free prescriptions for all asthma sufferers

Petition Details

Asthma sufferers rely on inhalers to be able to live and yet they are having to pay for their prescriptions. Asthma is an ongoing health condition like epilepsy and diabetes, some of whom get their prescriptions free so why don’t asthmatics get them free?

Additional Information

There are a lot of asthmatic people who are not able to afford their inhalers meaning they go without them and may end up becoming very ill and possibly dying.

People who have asthma are also prone to getting chest infections as well as pneumonia which means they also have to pay for antibiotics on top of their inhalers so that they can stay alive.
