What the petition asks
20p per prescription item will encourage people to check their medication stock before reordering everything. 20p charge will also prevent pharmacies from fraudulently ordering everything for their patients. Multi millions could be saved and used for treatment we currently can not afford.
SAVE our NHS. 20p per item will not be unaffordable for the vast majority. MILLIONS of pounds will be saved!
