My friends at Uni who have now reached the age where they have to pay prescription charges are constantly moaning about this. Hello? You pay £7 for a prescription. In Ireland you pay what it costs, could be 50, a 100 or more. The NHS is not perfect, but its pretty damn good.Lalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201651487949918172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2482732367812174734.post-76665752971770537572008-07-10T21:31:00.000+00:002008-07-10T21:31:00.000+00:00I'm not sure I'm that taken by my new look either....I'm not sure I'm that taken by my new look either.

In Ireland it is. There are so many people in Ireland who don't go and see their GP because it's simply too expensive. Free GP care won't rid Ireland of it's healthcare problems, but it would certainly help us to at least engage those who need healthcare in the first place.<BR/><BR/>The situation in the UK is entirely different. Access to secondary care is a major problem there. <BR/><BR/>At least you're one step ahead of us in your bottlenecking :P<BR/><BR/>Dr. Thunder<BR/>www.twoweeksonatrolley.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
