We were delighted to hear the Health Minister announce that prescription charges would not be making a return in Northern Ireland in the short term, due to a "lack of consensus" on the issue. Read the BBC news piece on this here. This follows a very active and high profile local campaign led by the British Heart Foundation NI and MS Society NI on behalf of the Prescription Charges Coalition and Long-Term Medical Conditions Alliance NI. The Keep Us Well campaign report, which outlines the findings of a survey of 850 people with long-term conditions in Northern Ireland, makes a powerful case for keeping prescriptions free for people with long-term conditions.
