These include a broad range of prescription charge exemptions, for which someone with asthma may qualify.<\/p> <\/p> The Department has no current plans to amend these exemptions, including the list of medical conditions that provides exemption from prescription charges. Children under 16, and students under the age of 19 and in qualifying full-time education are also exempt from prescription charges.
