  • What are Cystic Fibrosis Trust’s key campaigns?

    Equity for all. We are calling for access to free prescriptions for everyone with CF and an uplift in Statutory Sick Pay.  

    Breathing greener. We want to improve air quality for those with lung conditions, including introducing the early alert warning system to protect those with CF.

    Access to care. We are calling for the Government to secure the future of CF specialist care and address staffing recruitment and retention in CF teams.

  • What is the general election?

    The general election is a political process where candidates are nominated by various political parties, or sometimes independently, to campaign for a seat as an MP.

    There are around 650 seats across the UK and voters can only vote for candidates within their local area, also known as a constituency. You can find out who your MP is by searching your postcode on the UK Parliament website.  

    The general election took place on July 4, 2024

  • Why does it matter for people with cystic fibrosis (CF)?

    Your local parliamentarian is there to represent your voice in Parliament, so it’s important they know the issues that matter to you most. They can put pressure on the Government by speaking out in debates and asking questions in Parliament. 

    We encourage you to contact your MP to tell them about some of the things we’ve been campaigning for and how CF impacts your life. If you live in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, you can also contact your MSP, MS or MLA.
