Prescription charge re-introduced today

From Checkpoint, 4:43 pm on 1 July 2024

The $5 prescription co-payment was removed in July 2023, but the National Party brought it back to free up money for other services. Those 13 and under, or 65 and over and those that have a community services card will remain exempt from the charge, Louise Ternouth reports.
