Please support the Turner Syndrome Support Society in our call for the government to Freeze the cost of prescriptions – sign our petition now!
The Prescription Charges Coalition has been campaigning for a number of years for prescription to be made free to people with all long term medical conditions.
In September 2010, the Government stated that they would not introduce free prescriptions but would look at ways to introduce ‘more fairness’ in the system.
We believe the Government has an opportunity to do more to help people with long term conditions who are struggling to afford their medicines in the current difficult economic climate.
This is why we are now calling on the Government to freeze the cost of prescriptions until the end of the Parliament.
As many people with long term conditions use Prescription Prepayment Certificates (PPCs) to spread the cost of their medicines and save money, we are also calling for the Government to continue last year’s freeze on the cost of PPCs until the end of the Parliament.
Finally, we want the Government to work towards making prescriptions free for people with long term medical conditions in the future.
