From laxatives to sun cream: The full list of medicines that will no longer be available on NHS prescription at the end of the month

This information concerns NHS England but I am astonished at what I am reading in this article.

I hope that NHS Scotland aren't thinking of adopting a similar 'strategy'.

Comments welcomed below as always.
