Carmarthen's May Evans said: "�6 per item is very expensive at the moment especially for those on regular medication. I've been going for my son for years so I know. This is a big step in the right direction. "

Neil Davies from Neath:" I didn't know the price was changing. I've not had a prescription in years. �6 is expensive. I think �5 is a bit high but it's better."
Helen Richards from Llanelli

Helen Richards from Llanelli:"I think it's wonderful although it has not been publicised very well. I was not aware of it and I watch the news regularly. We contribute enough every week through our wages so this is something I think is very good."
Doreen Davies from Pencader, Carmarthenshire

"I think it should come down because it's hard for those of us who are on prescriptions every month. They can't give you more than 28 days medication at a time because that's the policy." Doreen Davies from Pencader
