Nigel has produced a leaflet for every resident on the new free medicines service.  Everyone who is entitled to free prescriptions can now obtain free medicines from your local pharmacist.  This scheme is designed to encourage people to seek the professional advice of a pharmacist for minor conditions to relieve pressure on our doctors.  The scheme applies to all children, expectant mothers, senior citizens, unemployed people and others who are on low income.  It covers every condition from sore throats to bunyons.  Local pharmacist Fiona McCready helped Nigel prepare the leaflet - she is a key Government advisor on community health matters.
