Prescription Charges

Morning
Anyone seen the latest bright idea from the government?
There's a consultation going on to 'align' the dates for free prescription charges to the state retirement age.
There is no promise not to apply it retrospectively to those already over 60.
Apart from impacting on everyone it seems really unfair to women who have already (in my wife's case) been forced to wait an extra seven years to collect their state pension after the last 'realignment' exercise.
Other than that, the one bright spot in my life is that that still love my 75!!!
Cheers
