PETITION
You
may care to 'sign' the Petition being promoted by
Swindon Trades Council Union
for the abolition of Prescription Charges throughout the UK
They
have been abolished in Wales; they are being phased-out in Scotland;
and, in N. Ireland, a review has been agreed following a Private
Member's Resolution.
Visit
http://abolishprescriptioncharges.wordpress.com
and have them add you Name and Mail address to this Petition
or contact your H.C. Councillor for a paper mandate

The Citizens Advice Bureau believes that as many as 800,000 people do
not take the drugs which they have been prescribed because they cannot
afford the charges .. !

raise concerns and share experiences of healthcare)
