Review NHS prescription exemption rules for lifelong neurological conditions
We call on the UK Government to review and update the NHS medical exemption list to include lifelong neurological conditions requiring continuous medication, including Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
We call on the Government to review and update the NHS prescription medical exemption list to include lifelong neurological conditions requiring continuous medication, including Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The current list has not been meaningfully reviewed for decades and does not reflect modern understanding of chronic neurological illness, placing ongoing financial burden on those with permanent conditions in England.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
