This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The UK Government is only responsible for the NHS in England. Prescription charges in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are the responsibility of the devolved governments.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
