Fund free prescriptions for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
We want the government to fund free prescriptions for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS is a condition that affects nerves in your central nervous system. It stays with you for life and is life changing.
Free medicines underutilized at local pharmacies
Many pharmacies offering free medicines to low-income residents are seeing very few patients, suggesting residents are unaware of or unable to access this support.
Fund free mental health condition prescriptions for all who need them
As a person with generalised anxiety disorder and OCD, I feel that my SSRI has had an immense positive impact on my mental health. I can only imagine this is the likely outcome for others too. I do not believe we should have to pay monthly to assist conquering our mental health conditions.

Nearly half of participating pharmacies offering free medicines to low-income residents saw no patients over almost a year. This suggests low awareness or uptake of available support.
Fund free access to weight loss meds for disabled people & lipoedema sufferers
We want the government to fund more weight loss medication on the NHS for those with limited mobility, disabled or those suffering with lipoedema. Those with lipoedema know that diet and exercise cannot cure it. However, weight management can help manage symptoms.
