NHS to stop supplying paracetamol on prescriptions and hospital discharges

What the petition asks
I believe that paracetamol, ibuprofen and other over the counter items shouldn’t be supplied at a cost to the NHS when they can be bought for as little as 16p from Tesco and other retail stores. I believe the UK public should realise how much this costs the NHS
