Plans to bring back prescription charges have been put back on the shelf. The Health Minister - Simon Hamilton has said that he doesn't think 'there will be any...re-introduction of prescription charges, certainly in my time as minister.'

But he said there would be consequences of that - less cash to 'pay for some of those very expensive new drugs and treatments that are out there'. But would you be willing to pay for your scripts - if it meant improving the health service?
