Prescription Charges Coalition stars in BBC1's 'Rip Off Britain'

27/10/2017

On 20th October, the BBC's Rip Off Britain  investigated why England is the only home nation to pay for prescription charges. The programme looked at case studies from people with long-term conditions in England and Scotland. It featured the Prescription Charges Coalition Co-Chair, Matina Loizou  from Parkinson's UK, discussing the negative effects of prescription charges on people with long-term conditions in England.

You can watch the episode here. 

Do you live in England and have to pay for prescriptions for your long-term condition? We'd love to hear from you.  Email us your case study at prescriptionchargescoalition@gmail.com.

Agree with your campaign wholeheartedly. My son struggles with his charges and because this wok isn't paid well it's a choice between prescription for pain relief or a pair of shoes or winter coat. He really only manages because he's still living at home and we help. This doesn't help him feel independent at all. It's very unfair that some conditions get free prescriptionshipping and others don't.

Prescription charges can affect an economy as well as a person. Prescription drugs might lead someone down the path of addiction. They might need to seek http://www.monarchshores.com/drug/prescription for help.
