Those with asthma are especially vulnerable to Coronavirus. Many long-standing health conditions qualify for free prescriptions - asthma is not one. Asthma is not a “lifestyle” condition, many have it from a young age and it can be life-threatening. Some GP surgeries will prescribe one blue inhaler on a prescription, others two. This is unfair, arbitrary and costly for those who suffer with this condition. It is time that prescription charges were abolished for asthma sufferers.
