Background

We urge the Government to add Parkinson’s to the list of conditions that entitle individuals to a medical exemption certificate so that they can access free prescriptions, as many will be on lifelong medication for this progressive neurological condition.

Additional details

Parkinson's is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world. It is a progressive disease that requires medication to be taken for the rest of a person’s life. We believe the list of conditions eligible for a medical exemption certificate must be revised.
