question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government why adults with cystic fibrosis in England are not exempt from paying prescription charges.
tabling member printed	Baroness Sherlock
uin	HL16515
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2019 answer text <p>Extensive arrangements are already in place to help people access National Health Service prescriptions. These include a broad range of NHS prescription charge exemptions, for which someone with cystic fibrosis may qualify. Together these exemptions currently mean around 89% of NHS prescription items are dispensed in the community free of charge.</p><p>To support those with the greatest need who do not qualify for an exemption, the cost of the prescription pre-payment certificates has been frozen for another year. A holder of a 12-month certificate can get all the prescriptions they need for just £2 per week.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 02/07/2019 15:11:59 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
