        Who knows perhaps it will bring the exorbitant price of drugs down. Let's face it you can buy asprin for pence or £ depending on brand.

        It is done here all the time! GPS tend to go for best known drug, but there are usually other cheaper forms that do exactly the same

        This cost cutting is to prevent side effects from "polypharmacy" and to prevent medicine wastage by care homes. No politics involved here.

        This is not right! Money put above the needs of patients. What sort of country is this turning into?

        Cheaper alternatives is usually about patent protection costing more- does not mean the cheaper one is less effective!

        We are so obstructive to any change (even if positive)in this country. We always look to blame someone and politicise! We never appreciate!

        The whole of the NHS needs to get more efficient. 2dt I suggest getting rid of diversity officers on 60k a year.

        Aiming for efficiency is not about politics and putting money above care! Don't make politics out if everything

        Good idea ,I think people should also be given an option to pay a little bit more for their prescription if they can afford to.

        The answer's simple - don't vote Tory. Any pensioner who does, does so at their peril #winterfuel #dementiacap #failingNHS

        what do you expect from an area that consistently votes tory-I'd go further & suggest a cabal of people determined to privatise NHS
