What the petition asks

Free NHS Prescriptions and all other services, such as, dental care, sight tests, funding for vision instruments, wigs and fabric support must be given to those who are 18 years and over within Full Time education
Costs of living are highly increasing, due to the current pandemic and war. Which affects all, but severly effects students who sruggle to pay for countless expenses, such as, Shopping for Food/toiletries, Accommodation, Travel. Some students also deal with dangerous levels of stress caused by studies which they require therapy to ease their situation.

Reffering back to the current world, where Coronavirus is still present and cases/deaths are increasing as well as the current crisis. Health is manditory, which does effect many in daily life as well as students who suffer on a day to day basis. By providing Free NHS Prescriptions, and other services listed above will support students. Which includes myself. Who are in need of this crucial service.
