Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Should you have to pay to save your own life?

The prescription charge in England currently stands at £9.00 per item. A month and/or three month's supply of medication to manage mental health can cost £9.00.

Prescriptions for mental health medication are already free in the rest of the UK.
