He said:"Not only do people suffer illnesses and the effects of illnesses more than they need to but, in the long term, it costs the NHS more money because those people who don't take their medicines present with even more serious conditions later on.
A survey of health professionals by the Royal College of Nursing found that 87% had patients skip medication because of the cost of their prescription.
In UKLabour ever win a general election, Prepare to have the UK bankrupt. Again!
We’ll still pay for it in tax.
Did they mention how it’s going to be paid for ?
They are going to bankrupt the country like they did in 1960-1970s
uklabour We will scrap university fees - LIE uklabour We will deliver the result of the referendum - LIE uklabour We will deliver Brexit - LIE uklabour We will scrap prescription charges - LIE?
Comrade Corbyn could promise everyone a flying unicorn, but it won’t count for shit because he’ll never win an election. jewhatingcommie
About time
jacqui703 Brilliant policy
How are you going to pay for this? Why don’t you make all the foreigners pay for their treatment and then channel it back into cheaper prescriptions? Lol you haven’t got the balls!
Like labour, under Corbyn. tried to take away and payback university debt. They always try and get an edge. Labour make me sick.
Wanna start with overprescribing paracetamol 😂😂
Cheap shot to win votes. How do the plan to fund this?
💩
Is this the same silly twat that gave cars zero road tax and £20 , and now we have potholes everywhere but no money to repair them,😂😂
Desperate measures
More empty promises
How they gunna fund this then you will be telling me theyre gunna offer free transport on buses nationalise the railways, mining, steel and the utilities next.
Still won’t get them in ...
I don’t think anyone in this country minds paying there way for the NHS but government need to make sure the money goes to the NHS frontline where it is needed and not the fat cats or drugs companies that run it
Student Tuition fees.... 👎 Now Prescription charges. Corbyn will surround himself with his students and girly lovies for the Cameras and be out handing out the Lollipops to the Kiddies. Vote Labour. No Chance! He has No Clue what he’s doing “A Post Turtle”.
How would this work. We taxpayers surely have to pay our prescriptions so that the Romanians and Slovakia’s can get there’s for free.
Would be paid for how?
Free pills to all who want them, don't need them, and forced on them.. Welcome to the American dream
This is the worst idea! This will increase so much more medicine waste as like always, people over order on their meds.Working in pharmacy, you see thousands of pounds every day going straight into the bin. Look at cutting down waste before giving out free prescriptions!
Isn’t it free anyway for the feral and feckless?
Labour Governments have done that in the past and have had to overturn the decision when the NHS ran out of money.
Magic Money Tree springs to mind
And who will foot the bill. I can see huge tax rises with UKLabour clueless plans.
Who is paying for all of these policies? Menopause flexible working, no prescription fees, no more ofsted - thank god we’re not about to enter what most sane economists predict as a massive economic shock should we leave a large political and economic club... oh wait
you had ample opportunity's to implement that over the years when people of my age really needed free prescription charges. But i couldn't care less now, you say you will but you won't get into number ten so it won't happen
The mass planting of money trees would help and could save climate change.
Sounds a fantastic idea, but where is the money coming from?
How are they going to afford it.
Bankrupt England...
Meanwhile...The Conservatives plan to reduce taxes for big business, bankers, and the rich.
That’s alright, thanks to brexit there won’t be any medicine anyway
Do that then charge all the hard working people more tax each month, brilliant idea once again lol 🤔
This is just robbing peter to pay Paul. It looks good but scratch the surface and there are serious problems. Take a look at wales. Money has to come from somewhere.
Who is paying for it? ... oh hang on has Diane been doing the sums
Promises promises
How do you intend to cover those costs? labour
I smell 🐂💩
The first of many unicorns!
Dear labour. If you want new votes , not from the same (amongst others) overly young , student, work shy , lazy, down right weird or want everything for free clientele, then I would drop all this Marxism and socialist bollocks. That’s pretty much it.
Tories May have implemented the spending cuts but it was a result of negligent spending by labour. Jezza, McDonnell and friends want to rip up the economy. So how will these things be paid for? We’ll be needing aid from the UN with this lot in charge
Here we go, promises that will attempt to get the elderly voters interested. It will never happen.
Magic money tree is out!
Well obviously Labour will make them free. Because according to them when we leave the EU there will be a medication shortage, so we won't be getting anything, so no money wasted. Diane Abbott taught me that!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
More vote grabbing. Next they will say they will raise the minimal wage to £30/hour.
so who is going to pay for this? Prescriptions are already free to the vulnerable and elderly and those on tax credits etc so why do they need to be free for all.
Not bothered I get mine free anyway. So Labour don't get my vote, not that they would of anyway.
UKLabour manifesto has a suspicious title: 'How To Bankrupt A Nation (Again!) For Dummies!' 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Here we are again these Clowns 🤡 will say anything to gain Votes , all these false promises they make will just Bankrupt the Country and push Your Taxes through the Roof , they treat us All like morons, they need to change their tune it’s All been said before .Morons all of them
Yeah right! What’s next - free travel for all?!?!?
So radical I can’t believe the other parties didn’t think of that.
Same old labour. People think it’s all free under them. Tax tax tax.
That’ll be the day
Wheres all this extra money coming from.
Trust the people , implement the result of the referendum
How is all of this to be paid for ?
I mean, that could get me voting for them. Not saying it will but if they legit gonna do this then why not, they got my vote.
Wow sky are really upping their campaigning for Labour .. flooding twitter with pro labour BS
Bllsh*t !
Another freebie 🙄 what’s wrong with paying towards them? With my disability I could get all I wanted for free but I choose not to, doing my part to help the NHS maybe if with all did a bit it would lessen the burden on the NHS
It's about time
Should change the system paying crazy money for meds costing £1 or so over the counter in other countries
Expensive.
Like tuition fees . You know the same tution fees Labour introduced calling them Top up fees I don't know why they don't just promise a free golden pig to each voter.
More bullshit. Like when the unLib unDems said they would abolish tuition fees....then trebled it.
About time, great Labour policy 👍🏻 Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland don't pay & we all pay tax. Yet people in England have to pay prescription charges 😡 Don't get me started on the tuition fees differences 🤬
And free Ice Cream for everyone yay!!!!
They are not free, the taxpayer has to pay for them, labour will ruin the UK if anti Semitic ,commie terrorist loving Corbyn ever gets into power.
Labour has form on promising then changing its mind
They would have way more success if that headline read 'Labour announces plans to scrap Jeremy Corbyn and stop blocking Brexit'.
And so it begins.....
This would be catastrophically expensive . Currently those who afford pay . Those who can’t don’t . Seems a fair system to me .....
I thought they were ‘coming for the wealthy’ and supporting the NHS? So here they are, removing one of the few means tested NHS ‘taxes’, to reduce the NHS purse for the benefit the ‘comfortable’? Im not complaining, but they need to make their mind up what their policy is.
And who will fall for that old Biscuit 🤷🤷 stupid fukas
But seriously don't they know their own political history. It was a Labour HMG that legislated for this partly triggering Bevan's resignation as the NHS was going bust.
Still gonna vote brexitparty_uk
They will get the money back somehow
So free drugs for everyone. Yippee!
The lads
How? where does the money come from?
More debt to the country. Cheers 👍🏻. Luckily, whilst Jez is head of Labour this won’t happen.
That's a winner from Comrade Magic Grandpa! One question ... who exactly is going to pay for it!?!...
Yes Dianne Abbott has worked out all the Costs 🙈
Why? Most people don't pay prescription charges, why remove NHS funding?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
They are free every fkn where else
Bullshit! Clutching at straws spring to mind! No party is really out there that have the best interests of Britain. I was never fooled about voting of EU. Its about taking back control of all aspects. These people in parliament need to stop acting like childrennoIinteam 31/10👍🏻
Jeez have they found the Boris magic money tree as well!!!
And how do they propose to pay for it?
Hmmm Save £8, tolerate Labour in power. Save £8, tolerate Labour in power. Save £8, tolerate Labour in power. Hmmm. Ok - I’ve thought it through, and it’s not worth saving £8 to install Labour’s latest shit identity crisis.
Who’s gonna pay for them? Plenty people can afford them and should pay!
I live in wales we have had free prescriptions for years. Labour are closing my local hospital, I would gladly pay if it saves this kind of thing happening! The NHS needs more money. Meds should be free only for those who’s life depends on them ie chronic conditions.
Sarah66176313 Personally, I'm happy to pay a prescription charge. But very good if it benefits those that are more in need
Yeah cause they will have the money to do that.... just another false promise to scramble votes
Hardly anybody pays now anyway.
Desperate
It's a Labour funded NHS in Wales and outcomes are poorer than in England. Again, a race to the bottom.
Promises promises. Usual labour way. They’ll promise anything if they think it will get a vote. They’d bankrupt the country in less than a year. Absolutely clueless.
I think I’ve heard this once or twice before....it’s never happened.
Magic money tree, pie in the Sky idea number 12 in a set of 136. Collect them all and stick them in your Unicorn policy collectors album.
Labour would give it all in theory. Unfortunately we live in reality.
ALL parties must now realise that, once in power, EVERY election promise will be seen as “the will of the people” and will have to be implemented............”do or die”.
The NHS is struggling as it is so there is no chance this is possible.
Oh.......another 🐷 just flew over my 🏠 lies
They can promise what they like, their not getting elected in a month of Sunday’s.
They give the same prescriptions all the time so it is reasonable to free the prescription charges. 5:23:34 Sun, September 22, 2019
Where are UKLabour getting all their money from to do all these things ?
Like tuition fees
Wouldn’t matter if they gave gold bullion away, the answer is NO THANKS !!!!
This country will be bankrupt if Labour implement all of their policies. Where's the money coming from? They're a joke party.
To be honest the current prescription system isn’t bad
How much money are they going to have to print for this ? They are making promises that they financially can not meet
Where are they making this money from? Free prescriptions and free university places. They are just trying to look for votes
And money will come from where to fund it?
Have we not got that already
All prescriptions should be paid for! Maybe then people won’t take the piss just so they can afford a pouch of baccy and some special brew!
And where will the money come from ?
How terribly nice....and how will that be financed ?
They can scrap all charges but it won’t pay the bills
Typical. I have just reached 60 and discovered i don't have to pay for a prescription any more. No pension though. The government have stolen that! Backto60.
Boy oh boy, I can hardly wait !
More magic money
'Plan' They are trying to appeal to people on benefits basically
We haven’t had them in Wales for years they should be free everywhere
Prescription pre payment, £10 a month, covers everything. Not expensive but again, taxpayers must support the feckless
WOW ! They are getting desperate for votes now !!
And where is the money coming from to subsidise that....how ridiculous
Labour will announce anything without any fiscal responsibility. It’s all BS and economic illiteracy, bought into by the gullible. They should stick to supporting terrorists rather than trying economics.
So let the GE bullshit promises begin
Like Wales?
Will never happen, but lots will see the headline and vote for them- electioniscoming
Dangling carrot syndrome....
The rise of Marxism Free stuff for everyone. Socialism always ends in starvation and genocide.
They are not going to win - not with Jeremy
As Abbott done the maths...
Focus on Brexit bandwagon Brexit Brexit BrexitShambles Brexit and Brexit Brexit BrexitShambles and Brexit Brexit BrexitShambles and Brexit Brexit BrexitShambles Brexit Brexit and Brexit
When they’re in power?... we’re be living on mars by then 🤣
Like Scotland?
🤣🤣
Good, Scots and Welsh dont pay so why should we
Is it move everyone to Scotland?
Oh? Amazing - when can we vote them in
They're not in power though so this is pretty much a no story. NEXT....
Can’t argue with that policy to be fair.
