Closed petition Scrap prescription charges during the Covid-19 outbreak.
Closed on
Remove the charge for prescriptions in England so that people can continue to take their vital medications.
Scrapping prescription charges is vital to protect people’s health during a time when many are facing serious economic uncertainty. In particular, those who lose income due to underlying conditions face not being able to afford the medication for those conditions, therefore increasing their vulnerability and risk of Covid-19.
