English Tories tax the sick

Regular readers of this blog will have realised by now that Calton is not the greatest fan of Alex Salmond, however there is one thing that the SNP has done absolutely right - scrapping prescription charges. All the more so with the announcement yesterday of a rise in the charges the English have to pay to £7.65 per prescription, with corresponding rises in NHS dental fees and other charges. Prescription charges are not a tax on the rich - they are a tax on the sick and should not be part of any caring society. Ruth Davidson take note.
