What the petition asks
Asthma sprays are a lifesaving drug, and far too often I have been forced into a position where cost of them is a struggle to pay for on a monthly basis.
Please make them free for those in need and who are taking regular check-ins with their Asthma nurse and genuinely need them monthly.

The cost of Asthma sprays, even with the NHS pre paid prescription card is very costly for a drug in which our lives can be dependant on. With UK poverty so high and people using food banks, it is so difficult for people to afford life saving drugs as well.
