What the petition asks
Correct the unfair present situation which forces England Residents to pay a current prescription charge of £9.15 per item,whereas Residents of Wales,Scotland and Northern Ireland pay nothing!
The present system is so unfair and as we are supposed to be living in the UK,we should really have one set of Rules for all Residents of the UK. Why should NHS patients be discriminated against because of where they live in the UK? The present situation is so wrong and unfair to NHS patients and Residents in England.
