PRESCRIPTION CHARGES (No. 2)

Early day motion 1261, tabled 1 April 2009 by Russell Brown (Labour). Signed by 35 members.

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.

Signatures by party: Labour 32, Liberal Democrat 2, Independent 1.
