Rejected petition Amnesty on prescription fines for diabetics entitled to medical exemption certificates

More details

We believe there should be an amnesty on fines for people with diabetes until the need for a medical exemption certificate has been properly communicated by the NHS BSA and pharmacies.

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 issuing of fines to people who have not paid for prescriptions is a matter for the NHS BSA, which is independent of both the Government and the Department of Health.

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