Asthma And Free Nhs Prescriptions
EDM number 102 in 2005-06, proposed by Alan Meale on 17/05/2005.
That this House commends the role of the charity Asthma UK and its campaigns on behalf of UK sufferers; is alarmed that the number of emergency hospital admissions due to asthma remains unacceptably high in the UK and accepts that part of the reason for this may be individuals' inability to pay for their prescribed medication; and believes such a strategy to be both unjust and economically negative, as limiting asthma treatment in such a way not only prolongs suffering and a deterioration in patients' qualities of life, but also burdens valuable NHS resources with further spiralling ongoing costs for treatment.
This motion has been signed by a total of 98 MPs.
