Prescription changes on the way?

Could you be forced to pay more for your medicine in future?

Health and Social Care Minister Lawrie Hooper says the Island's £18 million a year prescription drugs bill is unsustainable, with people paying just £1 million a year towards it.

In a reply to a written question from Douglas North MHK John Wannenburgh, he said the DHSC is looking at changing free prescriptions.

Mr Hooper says it'll make things fairer in future.
