Fund free prescriptions for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

What the petition asks
We want the government to fund free prescriptions for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS is a condition that affects nerves in your central nervous system. It stays with you for life and is life changing.
It is classed as a disability in the Equality Act 2010.
To combat the symptoms, most sufferers require multiple daily medications all of which they are expected to pay for. We think this is grossly unfair as the condition is debilitating and can be crippling.
We believe that MS medication should be free as it limits your capability and quality of life.
