Closed Abolish prescription charges

Closed on

England is the only part of the UK who still charges prescription charges. Prescription charges make medications unaffordable. The Prescription Charges Coalition found that 1 in 3 people with a long term condition who paid for their medications did not pick up their medication due to costs.
