Will the Minister emphasise to the Department of Health that there are 750,000 people who, Citizens Advice tells us, for reasons of poverty, do not get their prescriptions dispensed? That is a very serious matter. It will make the Pathways programme harder if these people do not realise that they can get help. It sounds as though the lower income scheme, while useful, is of limited use because of the vast number of forms that have to be filled out. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
