HIV Treatment And Nhs Prescription Charges
EDM number 109 in 2006-07, proposed by Paul Burstow on 15/11/2006.
That this House notes that the regulations specifying conditions which qualify for prescription charge exemptions have not changed since 1968, and remain a significant barrier to the health care and quality of life of patients living with HIV; recognises that living with HIV, an infection first diagnosed 14 years after this legislation was introduced, can cause considerable physical and financial hardship; and calls on the Government to fulfil the commitment it made whilst in Opposition finally to review the list of conditions currently exempt from prescription charges, with a view to adding HIV to the list.
This motion has been signed by a total of 68 MPs.
