Make patients with CVID, PIDS and CF to NHS eligible for Medex certificates

Closed 79 signatures

What the petition asks

People with these life-long conditions have to pay for their prescriptions and medical machines. There are several life-long conditions listed on the NHS medical exemption certificate list. However, people with CVID, PIDS & CF who rely on medication everyday have to pay for their prescriptions.
This will help people with Common variable immune deficiency (CVID), primary immune deficiencies (PIDS) and cystic fibrosis (CF) to live a more healthy life without financial hardship. These people need their medication and some unfortunately go without if they can’t afford to pay for their prescriptions or medical machines. This causes a lot of hardship, and making prescriptions free for these people would help them live a more healthy, happy life.
