That this House congratulates the Government on its recently announced new deal with pharmaceutical companies which is estimated to save the NHS £400 million on its drugs bill; notes that paid-for prescriptions raise £430 million in England; further notes that people in England often cannot afford the drugs they are prescribed, leading to health complications and additional subsequent costs for the NHS; and therefore calls on the Government and Opposition parties to take this opportunity to abolish prescription charges in England.
This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs.
