Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Russell Brown (Labour), on Wednesday, 1 April 2009, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 35 members in total.


PRESCRIPTION CHARGES (No. 2)

That this House notes that from 1 April 2009 cancer patients will be exempt from prescription charges in England, whereas in Scotland they will be required to pay 4 per prescription; congratulates the Government for this targeted and responsive measure and is disappointed that the devolved Scottish administration has failed to provide similar support to those requiring prescription drugs to deal with cancer in Scotland in a similarly timely manner.
