Prescription hikes planned for the autumn

A prescription price hike is on the way.

Charges on the Island will rise from September – if Tynwald gives its backing to proposals later this month.

It would mean each item would cost £3.85, 60p more than at present.

An increase of more than 20 per cent is also planned for 12 month pre-payment certificates.
