Abandon plans for GP and A+E charges. It's bad for our health.
Further privatisation of our NHS is not acceptable. Abandon these plans for GP/A+E charges and stop siphoning tax payers' money into the pockets of greedy private health care providers. Give us a fully funded and nationalised health service which serves the needs of the patients, not businesses.
Charges for GP appointments and trips to A+E are targeting those of us who are most vulnerable. If patients have to pay for a GP appointment they will delay or abandon seeing a doctor for potentially serious, even life-threatening, med conditions. Anybody can end up in A+E for some reason. The last thing we need is to be asked for a credit card before we get treatment. The NHS should be free at the point of use. We pay National Insurance for this. Privatisation must be stopped!

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
While it has been suggested that the NHS charge for GP and A&E visit, the Government has not announced any plans to do so, and has said that it is not currently considering any such proposals.
