What the petition asks
To continue to allow over 60 year olds to continue getting free prescriptions. I am three weeks off my 63rd Birthday and really need this to continue as I live on my own and work full time. Cannot see me giving up work as wouldn't beable to afford it. Scotland, Wales & Ireland do not pay for theirs.
To continue to allow over 60 year olds to continue getting free prescriptions. Scotland, Wales and Ireland get free prescriptions & are for the future.
Our government continue to raise the pension age which is discussing and not our problem. At this point there will be no pension age because we will mostly be dead before we can take our pension or even get free prescriptions. Leave the prescriptions at Free for over 60's.
