The other 12% appears to have raised £9 billion (in 2011-12).
Well there are a lot of exemptions. Young people, old people, and people with medical conditions. Naturally the latter two camps are the ones who need the most medications, having repeat prescriptions etc. I don't actually mind paying for my own prescriptions anyway, I rarely if ever have needed anything. I was just pointing out why it would be perceived as unfair.
