SNP Scottish Government cutting the cost of prescription charges again, Labour MSP Jackie Baillie's political career is dying a little more each day
















Dear All

It’s more bad news for Labour MSP Jackie Baillie and the Labour Party in 2010.

The Scottish Government is cutting the cost of prescription charges again.

The health portfolio is fast becoming Jackie Baillie’s political graveyard.

Each day brings her further bad news of the health service prospering under an SNP administration.

John Mason, the SNP MP for Glasgow East has welcomed the Scottish Government's publication of regulations, this will see prescription charges cut from £4 to £3 from April 1st this year.

In a time of cuts going the wrong way to eat into essential services under the Labour Government, the SNP by careful management is putting people first.

Next year see a historic event as prescription charges will be completely abolished in Scotland.

This will help those struggling on modest incomes.

SNP MP John Mason said;

"Prescription charges are a tax on ill health and are unacceptable in a modern society. The take up of prescriptions has increased as charges have fallen which clearly shows that people in Glasgow East and were suffering because of cost”.

A clear statement of how the Labour view people as they try to squeeze every bit of money out of those who can least afford it.

The SNP can fight the General Election on a successful record of achievement.

The record is the SNP fight for ordinary people to have a better life everyday.

Yours sincerely
