What the petition asks
Extend the free NHS prescription eligibility to include everyone who has a mental health condition to be eligible for a Free NHS Prescription.
People who suffer from a mental health condition (ie. ADHD, Depression...) require medication to help support their condition and everyday life. By extending the free prescription eligibility allows people to receive their treatment. By allowing people to have free prescription for their medication can reduce the chances of them self or someone else being harmed via their condition. Allowing people who have a mental health condition a free NHS prescription reduces the number of people sectioned.
