Add Endometriosis to NHS Medical Exemption List for Free Prescriptions

Summary

We want the Government to add endometriosis to the list of qualifying long-term medical conditions that entitle patients in England to Medical Exemption for free NHS prescriptions. Endometriosis is a recognised incurable chronic inflammatory condition that requires lifelong medical treatment. Women and people with endometriosis often require lifelong or long-term prescription medication to manage an incurable chronic disease, including hormone suppression, pain relief, bladder medication, bowel medication and treatment for related complications. Despite this, endometriosis is not currently recognised as a qualifying condition for an NHS Medical Exemption Certificate, meaning many sufferers must pay prescription charges indefinitely simply to manage a disease that cannot be cured.
