Dr. Richard Taylor
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what timetable has been set for the publication of Professor Ian Gilmore’s report on prescription charges for those with long-term conditions.

Professor Gilmore has submitted his report on exempting people with long-term conditions from prescription charges to the Department. The recommendations are being considered, and we intend to publish our response shortly.
