Execute free medications for people lives with long term illnesses in England.
Implement free prescriptions for all chronic disease sufferers in England like Parkinson's disease, asthma, arthritis, Copd, IBS etc as this diseases can affect a person at any age and no complete cure.Medicines are life line for them.Abolishing the charge for medicines would give a huge supoort.
People in England has to pay for their medications unless they are exempted from prescription charge.The people who suffers from long-term illnesses like Parkinson's disease , asthma , copd , hypertension etc are not included in prescription exemptions list , which will cost a person to pay higher amount for the medications. As government tries to raise the age for free prescriptions to 66 years will put extra burden on people as they wouldn't be able to work that long due to their poor health.
