[BERNADETTE]

Regardless of what revenue comes from where and the population of the countries are people in need on different incomes in different parts of the United Kingdom? No of course they aren't so why are some allowed free prescriptions, hospital parking and the like while others aren't?
It is the people in power who cause these problems by giving free prescriptions to everyone regardless of their income. As has been mentioned earlier in the thread some people are denied drugs that could keep them alive. So maybe if we all had to pay the same costs the "post code lottery" of being prescribed these life enhancing drugs could be avoided.
