PRESCRIPTION CHARGES IN SCOTLAND (No. 2)

Early day motion 641, tabled 18 January 2010 by Russell Brown (Labour). Signed by 25 members.

That this House notes that since 1 April 2009, cancer patients have been exempt from prescription charges in England, whereas in Scotland they will be required to pay £3 per prescription from 1 April 2010; congratulates the Government for this targeted and responsive measure; and is disappointed that the devolved Scottish administration is continuing to fail to provide the same support to those requiring prescription drugs to deal with cancer in Scotland, in a similarly timely manner.

Signatures by party: Labour 24, Liberal Democrat 1.
