Give students free dental care and prescriptions on the NHS

Closed 32 signatures

What the petition asks

Most students do not have any income, or if they do it is very minimal. Most students cannot afford dental treatment or prescriptions and avoid going to the doctors or dentist. This can mean that medical problems can go untreated and thus cost the NHS more in the long term.
