Petition Stop prescribing medicines such as Paracetamol on the NHS!

The NHS spent £87.6 million pounds last year on paracetamol tablets which can be bought 20 times cheaper in a supermarket. Doctors wrote 22.9 million prescriptions at an average cost of £3.83. These painkillers can be bought in supermarkets for as little as 19p!!!!
