Rejected petition Abolish all presciption charges in England

More details

It seems quite unfair that people in England have to pay for prescriptions when all residence in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have free prescriptions. This is supposed to be a United Kingdom, the fact that english residents are paying for prescriptions does not appear to be fair or united.

Please sign this petition and contact your MP to get this inequality removed.
