To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will include Cystic Fibrosis patients on the medical exemption list to make them eligible for free prescriptions on the NHS.

We presently have no plans to do so. Approximately 89% of prescription items are currently dispensed free of charge and there are a range of exemptions from prescription charges, for which those with cystic fibrosis may be eligible and in receipt of free prescriptions.
