Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 14 June 2016 to Question 40107, if he will make an assessment of whether changes in the financial situation since 2010 would enable changes to be made to the implementation of exemptions from prescription fees for people with long-term medical conditions; and if he will make it his policy to implement prescription fee exemptions for all those with long-term medical conditions.
We have no plans to make changes to prescription charging policy.
