Campaign for free prescriptions

In September 2008 Gordon Brown promised to abolish prescription charges for people with long-term conditions in England, something we've been calling for for many years. We're still waiting for this to happen.

If you want to see free prescriptions for people with Parkinson's, please support the Prescription Promise Campaign. We've joined forces with other charities to campaign on this issue.

Over 200 people called Gordon Brown on 1 February 2010, asking him to take urgent action to make free prescriptions a reality. There are more ways you can help below.

How you can help

Email or write to your MP

Email your MP, ask them to sign a parliamentary motion in support of free prescriptions for people with long-term conditions.

You can write to your MP if you'd prefer. Find your MP on the UK Parliament website.
