Welsh prescription charges

On 1 October prescription charges in Wales will be reduced from £6 to £5, in the first step towards abolishing all prescription charges by 2007, as pledged by the Welsh Assembly Government. The cost of prepayment certificates will be reduced from £31.40 to £26.16 for a four-month certificate, and from £86.20 to £71.83 for a 12-month certificate.
