Extend eligibility for MedEx certificates to people with POI who need HRT

What the petition asks
I was 14 years old when diagnosed with Primary ovarian insufficiency and told I need to be on hormone replacement therapy until at least 60 years old. I want the Government to extend eligibility for free prescriptions to people with POI who need HRT.
Many people with POI need HRT to receive the correct hormones as well as protection against Osteoporosis. Having to pay for the medication your body actually needs due to no fault of your own is unfair. This should be free.
