Scottish pharmacy organisations have responded positively to last week's announcement that NHS prescriptions charges will be phased out in Scotland by 2011 (PJ,8 December,p635).In a statement,Community Pharmacy Scotland said:"We believe the planned approach of phasing,over three years,reductions to the cost of the pre-payment certificates will greatly help many people with chronic conditions.Similarly,the phased approach to the reduction in the cost of single prescriptions will be helpful in ensuring a smooth period of transition towards complete abolition in 2011."
