Prescription Charges (No. 2)

EDM number 1261 in 2008-09, proposed by Russell Brown on 01/04/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Devolution and Health finance.

That this House notes that from 1 April 2009 cancer patients will be exempt from prescription charges in England, whereas in Scotland they will be required to pay 4 per prescription; congratulates the Government for this targeted and responsive measure and is disappointed that the devolved Scottish administration has failed to provide similar support to those requiring prescription drugs to deal with cancer in Scotland in a similarly timely manner.

This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
