Hello :) <3
It's been 1 week since I started this petition. In that time we hit 100 signatures!!! Thank you so much for your support!!!
I was thinking, or rather doubting myself last night, asking myself why am I doing this now? The UK government is wrapped up in Brexit, it is the worst time to be doing this.
Then I thought peoples health isn't going to wait at the convenience of a deal with the EU. Prescription Poverty existed before Brexit & will continue once (if ever) Brexit is over. If Brexit revealed anything, it was how useless the government is at getting anything done and the necessity of people power to push for decisions and changes.
100 signatures is an amazing! But 10,000 is what you need for consideration in Parliament. I have spread my petition through my network, You guys <3. I now need you to SHARE this petition among your networks to keep the momentum going.
Medication is not that drink or meal out, you decide you can't afford. It is prescribed to the recipient because they need it. Health is a human right not a luxury, and people should not be asking whether they should delay purchasing their prescription or not.
