Beecroft proposal
The following is content that is just news, about a recent proposal. This is not encyclopedic.
Kate Beecroft, the minister of health, proposed in 2017 that the prescription charge scheme in the island should be altered, increasing the charge to £5 and reducing the categories of people exempt from charges to:
Under 16s
Under 19s in full-time education
Aged 75 and over
Those on benefits
Prisoners
She said that this could raise an annual income £3.86 million from the current level of £692,000, though this would be reduced if more people bought pre-payment certificates.[1]
These are "reforms unveiled by the Department of Health and Social Care last month". Not just proposals.

You have removed the prescription exemption list. That is not a proposal. That is the current situation.

Both you and the sources have described these as proposals: "proposed reforms unveiled by the Department of Health and Social Care".

The the prescription exemption list is not a proposal. IT's a description of the current situation.

I am not disputing anything. I just object to your bullying behaviour.
