Make NHS prescriptions for mental health free

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

I have to pay a 2-3 levy prescription monthly for my mental health condition that I did not choose to have. The NHS are willing to give out free treatments for overweight people who chose to be overweight so why can't we have free mental health treatment when we did not choose to have these issues?
