Closed petition Make prescriptions free in England like Wales and Scotland

Make prescriptions free in England like Wales and Scotland, to make healthcare and medication more accessible.

More details

Why does England have to pay for prescriptions when they’re free in Wales and Scotland?

People are not getting their prescriptions because they can’t afford it. Why is this the current situation that we’re all living in?! We believe people should not have to choose between paying for prescriptions or something else.

Make prescriptions free in England. This could save lives!
