The Island's Policy and Reform Minister has congratulated the Department of Health and Social Care for launching a public consultation on changes to prescriptions.
Chris Thomas MHK says he supports the department as it gives the public more information about its plans to charge more people for their care.
The Island's health service wants people to pay more towards the cost of prescriptions, sight tests and dental treatment.
Mr Thomas says although it may upset some, it's a brave move:
