Rejected petition Abolition of prescription charges as they have done in Scotland

More details

Can we please have the abolition of prescription charges as they have done in Scotland.

Prescription charges are a tax on ill health, and can be a barrier to good health for too many people.

The Scottish Government is fighting for a healthier nation; through tackling the health inequalities that still scar our nation and supporting people to live longer and lead healthier lives. Can the English government please do the same!
