	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2017 answer text <p>No assessment has been made. The Department currently has no plans to change the list of medical conditions which provide for exemption from prescription charges because arrangements exist to ensure that prescriptions are affordable for everyone. However, a broad range of prescription charge exemptions are in place, for which someone who has been prescribed anti-psychotic medication may qualify. To support those with greatest need who do not qualify for an exemption, prescription prepayment certificates are available. A holder of a 12 month certificate can get all the prescriptions they need for just £2 per week.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 11/09/2017 14:19:19 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
