That may highlight a problem with the NHS.
I (like most users) have no idea what stuff that I get for free, really costs. Only people right at the top can take on the drug companies about the prices that they charge. I know that it is not simple as they have to spend a fortune on research and development. I wonder if the problem is too grizzly for anybody to want to take it on?
But, madness is everywhere! I get free prescription coz of my age, but I would be happy to pay and could afford to.
