NHS prescriptions could hit £13 by 2035 as over 60s could be forced to pay too | Personal Finance | Finance
NHS prescription charges were frozen this year, but at £9.35 per prescription the cost soon adds up.
A new report has found that if NHS prescription charges rise inline with the cost of living, by 2035 they could cost £13.
Furthermore, if Government proposals to raise the age that people get free prescriptions inline with state pension age get the green light, thousands of over 60s in England will be faced with this shocking charge too.
This is despite the fact that NHS prescriptions are free for everyone in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, no matter what their age.
