| CAMPBELL WELCOMES PRESCRIPTION CHARGE CUT |
|
Aileen Campbell, SNP MSP for the South of Scotland, has welcomed the news from the Scottish Government that prescription charges fell again today. This is the last reduction before they are abolished entirely next year. The new charges will see a single prescription charge fall by £1 to £3 and a four-month prescription pre-payment certificate (PPC) falls by £3 to £10, while a 12-month PPC is now £28, down £P10. Commenting, Aileen Campbell MSP said:"I am delighted that, thanks to the Scottish Government, prescription charges have fallen again today, and they will soon be phased out. "Many people in the Clydesdale area are already better off because of the action that the SNP government has taken in reducing prescription charges and many more will benefit from this further cut. "Healthcare should be free at the point of access for everyone and that is why we have been intent on driving down prescription charges leading up to complete abolition in fulfilment of one of our key manifesto pledges."
