Asthma challenge to stop us paying for the right to breathe.

7 Replies

I have a letter from my MP and he is the house of commons. I would love people to read it as I thought it would be nice to show what kind people helped to do. Of course time will tell if we will win but we are trying . Thanks everyone for your help

Thats an excellent reply, I email my MP regularly, initially John Randal and now Boris Johnson, they were/are fairly inept and only ever reply with standard Tory policy type letters, they only vote along Tory lines and never consider what their constituents might want.

I like the idea that my MP will do his best to fight for us at any chance he has. I have put the complete letter up in two posts

It is the same for me that my query frequently gets forwarded to the department for their standard comment. I don't give up though as at least they know what we are concerned about.

Have to say my local MP is very good about allergies and his office did try to help me when I was given the run around by the DWP. If you have the time and energy at the end of the day they do have influence.

Hi Camilla, I am guessing that you are probably aware of the PPC (pre payment certificate) that costs £104 per annum and covers all prescriptions ?

I am aware of it. But it's still nice to request the mp's to change the out dated medical examinations which was agreed in 1968

I just signed a petition that I shared on here and people helped me. I only contacted my MP for his support to try and change the law. Even if we win for the future generations then I will be happy with that. I had to try.
