New prescription charges.
From April 1st prescription charges are set to rise by 25 pence...taking the cost of every single item on your prescription to £7.10.
Well, that is unless you live in Wales, where the prescription charges are to be abolished....or scotland where the prescription charge currently stands at £5 per item....but even the Scots are to get free prescriptions later on this year.
Are we English folk subsidising the medicines for those in Wales and Scotland...and if so.....are we MUGS??????
And before anyone jumps on my tail.....I do know that those on certain benefits and tax credits will get their medicines for nowt.......but I know there are some who fall just above the levels of earning to get these benefits.....and these are the people that this charge will hit.
Unfair or what?
