Years ago, when AUK was campagning for free prescriptions for asthma, a politician told me there were so few who paid it wasn't worth dealing with it. (!) Is it possible to find out any kind of figures for this? There must be some stats for the asthma prescriptions issued and those paid for against those which are free. It might help. If there are so few who pay, surely the government can afford to be generous. It is, for most of us, a lifelong condition.
