Rejected petition Give free prescriptions to people living in England

Stop the discrimination between the British people. People living in England have to pay prescription fees, people living in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland do not have to pay prescription fees.

More details

We are all residents of Great Britain so we should all be treated the same. The British government are discriminating against people living in England by making us pay for prescription charges when other people living in the UK do not pay.
Prescription charges should be the same across the UK.
