Agree - we pay for the NHS, so why should we be charged £7.10 per item.

yep, and

In Wales they do not have to pay at a hospital park

In Scotland, they get £1.5k more spend on each person and the police did get the 2.5% pay increase

Nope - you still need to pay for prescriptions in Scotland although there is talk about reducing the cost year on year until they are free in about 3-5 years.

Every time I have to put my inhaler prescription in I feel a bit ripped off. Is it my fault I'm asthmatic

*grumble*

Scrap the charges. Then in turn I'm sure docs who seem to give out endless ones for the smallest ailment will soon stop that.
