Ensure prescriptions are all free in England to all people residing there.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

To enact legislation to ensure all prescriptions are free to all people residing in England.
It is discriminatory within a United Kingdom with one overreaching NATIONAL Health Service for people to pay prescriptions in England, when other Nations within the United Kingdom do not. It should be free for all people residing in the United Kingdom, including England.
