Prescription Charges Coalition
We welcome government announcement they won't align the charge with the state pension age
The UK Government has confirmed they will NOT align prescription charges with the state pension age in their response to their 2021 consultation. We welcome this announcement as it means thousands of people between 60 and 65 won't have to pay for their vital medicine to stay well.
