This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Abolish prescription charges for English people.
To give English people equality within this United Kingdom it is only fair that we have free prescriptions as we are the only nation within the union that currently pays for them.
How can we be united if we are not equal?
