Good to hear that local pharmacists are helping to reduce the affect of the new charges for sick folks,i do remember that was the case in the UK when prescription charges were first introduced.I also remember that the UK charges were initially set at around 20p per item in those days,that seems a very long time ago, now that they are paying around 7 pounds for a prescription!  How long will it take for Spainish  prescriptions to get to around the 7 Euros mark?    ::)
