As for where I read it, I can't remember but I'll look later.
Then speak to your MP mate. This a choice the scottish government has taken. Don't get me wrong, if we chose to pay for a prescriptions then we would probs have money to invest else where in the country.

2 other points I would add -

The cost of medication probs is more excessive than it needs to me to fill shareholder pockets. Nothing has been done to address this. England alone has 10 times the population and to sustain a free prescription service would cost more numbers than I could count.
