Ps. the flat rate pension will not be retrospective. It will only apply to those retiring after the introduction date. Those of us already receiving a state pension will continue to receive our pension on the same basis as we get it now.
If free prescriptions ended and was subsumed as an extra amount on the pension, those of us getting medication would be paying just the standard prescription charge, regardless of the cost of drugs we were taking. Those taking a lot of medications could buy a prescription season ticket as those under pensionable age do now.
