Eighteen charities have come together calling on the Prime Minister to keep his promise made in 2008 to abolish prescription charges for people with long term conditions.

This applies to a lot of people and there are some who cannot afford their prescriptions because of the drain on their household budget.

This petition is about all long term conditions including diabetes.

That isn't what it is all about Hana.

There are people with other long term conditions who have to pay for their medication and find it very hard to pay for their prescriptions. If you read the list of the Charities involved and the findings about other groups, i.e. asthmatics, the mentally ill....they need help too.

incorrect punctuation (see above), Otherwise dishonesty, discrimination, prejudicial behaviour. and general nastiness.
We've already got free precriptions in Wales. Providing your address, the surgery address, and the pharmacy address are all in Wales, which isn't so difficult...

But petition signed in the hope that the English might catch up with us ;-)
