Abolition Of Prescription Charges In England (EDM35)

Abolition Of Prescription Charges In England

EDM number 35 in 2008-09, proposed by Bob Spink on 03/12/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Health finance and Medicine.

That this House congratulates the Government on its recently announced new deal with pharmaceutical companies which is estimated to save the NHS Â£400 million on its drugs bill; notes that paid-for prescriptions raise Â£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.
