Background

This petition is very simply calling for the UK Government to give all people with Asthma an exemption from paying the prescription fee. More than three-quarters of people with asthma who pay for their prescriptions said they struggle to afford them, according to a recent report by Asthma UK

Additional details

The shocking reality is that an asthmatic may well reduce their use of the pump which could lead to devastating consequences. It is time the Government acted on this. Please sign and share this petition
