Do not go ahead with changing the free prescription age
The Department of Health wants to bring the free prescription age in line with the state pension age - which is currently 66. This should not go ahead, it is so unfair. Prices for living is already costly so why should someone at that age have to pay anyway.
This will effect the poor and we should be helping and supporting them. Why should it be retirement age for someone to get their medication cost free. We as a country should not penalise someone for their health conditions. People are working to live with this they would really be working to live
