Free Epi-Pens for ALL

The Issue

Hi, my name is Amber Marshall and I'm a 17 year old student from Warrington. I love my dad with all my heart, and the fact that he has allergies that could potentially end his life if he doesn't get the proper care, completely smashes it into pieces. An Epi-Pen solves this. In an situation where waiting for the emergency services just isn't an option, the Epi-Pen is vital. There's just one thing wrong, Epi-Pens are not free.

Epi-Pens can have a shelf life of 6-12 months. Every time they expire (And bear in mind, he needs two each time just in case the first fails), he must buy more. He needs to purchase a device that when the time comes, will save his life.

The NHS provides life-saving treatment every single day to every single person in Great Britain. Just because my Dad isn't in a hospital or a GP practice at the point of delivery, doesn't mean he should have to pay for he device that will keep him here on this earth with us.
