Prescription charges - give us your views and experiences

We believe that all people with Parkinson's and other long-term conditions should be exempt from prescription charges wherever they live in the UK.

24 August 2012

Parkinson's drugs are extremely important in helping people with Parkinson's manage their symptoms and continue to lead independent lives.

We want to know how the prescription charges and exemptions system is working for people with Parkinson's in England.

Please take a few minutes to share your views and experiences with the Prescription Charges Coalition.

This will help to inform our work to influence Government policy. It should take no more than 10 minutes to complete.

Unfair prescription charges

Prescription charges were abolished in Wales in 2007, in Northern Ireland in 2010 and in Scotland in 2011. But not in England.

Paying for your prescriptions can be very expensive. We're worried that some people may not be taking all the medication they need because they can't afford it.

We believe that all people with Parkinson's and other long-term conditions should be exempt from prescription charges wherever they live in the UK.

We are part of the Prescription Charges Coalition - an alliance of over 20 charities and other organisations campaigning to abolish unfair prescription charges for people with long term medical conditions.
