Please make Asthma inhalers FREE on prescription to Asthma sufferers

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Asthma is a life long illness just like Diabetes and Thyroid. People with Diabetes and Thyroid get ALL their prescriptions for free.

It's very expensive each month paying out for inhalers on prescription sometimes costing over £16 a month but Asthma sufferes have to do this, these should be free.
