Don't actually need your NHS number btw to apply, it's just an optional. Costs £29.50 for 3 months.

England is awesome.

ha! Yes. But it still feels wrong to me that there are prescription charges at all. 'Free at the point of need' should mean exactly that.

Or at the very least make it a charge per prescription rather than per item, like it used to be.

But...that said, the prepay option does take a lot of the weight off people who have regular meds and effectively serves as a prescription charge not tagged to items.
