Stephanie Peacock (Barnsley East) (Lab)
With one in three arthritis sufferers missing out on at least one prescription due to cost, what can the Minister say to the pensioner in Barnsley who has had their pension cut, lost their local bus service and now lost out on the treatment that enables them to simply walk down the street? Is it not time the Government matched Labour’s promise, and invested in pensions, services and free prescriptions on the NHS?
Caroline Dinenage
I simply say to the hon. Lady that people over the age of 60 qualify for free prescriptions.
