    Default NHS Prescriptions

    NHS Prescriptions in Wales were scrapped in April 2007, now in the news Northern Ireland is also scrapping the prescription charge by 2010, but firstly taking the charge down to £3 by January 2009. Scotland is also planning to scrap the charge.

    I must admit it is very annoying to hear that people who have to take drugs/tablets to sustain or make their lives better have to pay for the privilege - shouldn't this type of treatment be free, after all isn't that why we are paying our National Insurance.

    Is there now hope for England to scrap the Prescription Charges?

    I'm not holding my breath - what do you think.
