As a result of Prescription Charges Coalition campaigning, Lib Dem MP Sir Bob Russell, has secured a Parliamentary debate on prescription charges on Wednesday evening. We need as many MPs as possible to speak, to show the Government how serious an issue this is. Use this UK Parliament tool (http://bit.ly/N3rCh) to identify your MP and their e-mail address, facebook or twitter handle, and ask them to go along and represent you in the debate! Use the hashtag #prescriptioncharges. You (and your MP) can also find a briefing below, that we've put together ahead of the debate to provide some background information. ![]()

i'm particularly keen to see the blanket 28 day prescription sorted. It impacts heavily on my daily life.. I am always struggling to ensure that I have sufficient medication to tide me over when I am travelling. I have ended up going without on far too many occasions. Must my life be so tethered to my surgery's dispensing hours? Many of us do not enjoy the luxury of a 9 to 5 one-location existence and our incomes are dependent on being able to travel nationally and internationally with support from our health care providers. On one occasion, knowing that I needed medication to tide me over a planned trip, my doctor helpfully prescribed sufficient to cover. The DISPENSARY refused to issue more than the 28 days and consequently I was put in a situation of being without the drugs that keep me "fit for work and travel". Thus my travel insurance was also invalidated.
