Send your MP a ‘blistering reality’ card this Christmas

The Campaigning Team at Parkinson’s UK have been busy crafting Christmas cards with a twist to go to MPs this festive season.

​For people living with long-term conditions like Parkinson’s, prescription charges are another item they must budget for this Christmas.

A Prescription Charges Coalition survey showed that 67% of people with long-term conditions have not collected a prescription due to cost. Many people skip and reduce doses because they simply cannot afford the cost of the prescription.

Do you have a long-term condition, an empty medicine blister pack and a bee in your bonnet about paying prescription charges? 

Let your MP know and join in the fun by creating your own ‘blistering reality’ Christmas card for your local MP!

Don’t forget to tweet your creations @prescriptionsCC #updatethelist #prescriptioncharges
