Paying the price: prescription charges and people with long-term conditions: This report examines the impact of prescription charges on people with long-term conditions in England. It found that people with conditions such as asthma, heart disease, arthritis and HIV are having to choose between food, clothing, bills or prescription costs. It argues that prescription charging is short-sighted as it makes it more difficult for people to manage their conditions effectively, leading to more severe health problems and extra costs to the NHS and society overall.
