Rejected petition Free NHS Prescriptions In England

More details

I call on the government to make NHS prescriptions free for all in England.

Scotland, Wales and Ireland have free NHS prescriptions, so why can't English citizens?

English citizens are paying for the other countries in the UK to have free NHS prescriptions and this is totally unfair. The NHS was created so free healthcare was available to all, it has now in places, become a coffers filler and this practice should be stopped.
