Make asthma inhalers free through the NHS

What the petition asks
Make asthma inhalers free in line with other medications such as contraceptives.
Providing free inhalers will ensure that individuals with asthma, a chronic and sometimes life-threatening condition, have access to essential medications, regardless of their financial status. I think that this upholds the principle of healthcare as a fundamental right.
This medication is required for people with asthma to live a normal, healthy life.
