Prescription Charges and a 19 year old!
25/08/2010 by eczemaboys.
My eldest son, James is 19 years old, and will be in his second year at university in September. Fortunately last September we applied for help with health costs, James was going away to uni and therefore not in ‘full time education’ which meant that he had to pay for his prescriptions which would have been a huge struggle financially for both him and us to be fair.
I was lucky - on advice from our local pharmacist we applied for a HC2 certificate and was successful, which meant that he has not had to pay for prescriptions, dental treatment or NHS eye sight tests. I have noticed that this is due for renewal and we have to fill in this ridiculously detailed form again, hopefully we will be successful once again as it will prove very expensive for us if we don’t succeed!
I can’t imagine how much it would of cost in prescription charges this past year that is why it is so important to join the Prescription Promise campaign.

Do you pay too much for prescriptions?
25/08/2010 by Admin Kirsty.
The Prescription Promise Campaign brings together a number of charities calling on the Government to abolish unfair prescription charges for people with all long-term conditions.Since April 2009, people with cancer no longer have to pay for prescriptions.
This is wonderful news, but many more people in need are still waiting. There is plenty of evidence that many people with long-term conditions currently struggle to afford their prescriptions, and often choose not to fill prescriptions because of the cost.
The National Eczema Society supports the campaign through its alliance with the Skincare Campaign, an umbrella organisation that unites the patient, healthcare professions, pharmaceutical industry and politicians who have a connection with skin diseases and conditions.
