Make Prescriptions FREE for ALL those with Cystic Fibrosis
Rejected

What the petition asks
Cystic Fibrosis needs to be added to the medical exemption list.
The Government’s knowledge on Cystic Fibrosis is outdated and needs updated NOW. Cystic Fibrosis was considered “a children’s illness” due to many people with Cystic Fibrosis not making it to Adult Age. However, medicine has come along a long way since the exemption list was last updated and people with Cystic Fibrosis have an average life expectancy of their late 40s. They should NOT have to pay for their medication to make sure they reach that age.
