Re Prescription charges reform;
I would very much like to get rid of any exemptions, in favour of a
prescription charge for all items, including scripts for children. If this
were done the charge could be much reduced. In my area, for example, Calpol
seems to be regarded by parents to be as essential as a childs daily milk.
To actually buy it themselves is almost unheard of. I feel that
discouraging peoples expectations that such items should be provided free
on the NHS would be very beneficial.
